During our Annual Membership Meeting, the Alliance will share updates on the current state of the organization, what we're working on, upcoming event details and more! Margie will then present ‘Birding on the National Water Trail’, highlighting the incredible migrations that come through Duluth. She will be focusing on the St. Louis River Estuary National Water Trail and give you expert advice on where and what you can see and hear while enjoying the River this spring, summer and fall.
You don't have to be a Member to attend the Membership Meeting! This is a great opportunity to learn more about the Alliance and how you can get involved.
Our Annual Member Meeting will be combined with our second installment of 'Water Wednesdays', a series of talks and events revolving around stewardship of the land and our beloved River. Held the 4th Wednesday of each month, March-August.
