SLRA walks along the Waabizheshikana with CSS Ecology Students

We had fun with the College of St. Scholastica Ecology students a few weeks ago! We walked down the Waabizheshikana trail (previously the Marten Trail) and explored the various ways humans have interacted with and changed the River in our past, present and looking towards the future. The Alliance shared about the St. Louis River Area of Concern process and ways students can get involved with the clean up efforts on the River, as well as events they an attend!

It's always a treat to get younger folks out near the water. For so many students in the area, the River is unheard of. Lake Superior is much larger and easier to access, therefore gets much of the attention. Though it is the St. Louis River that contributes to that massive, beautiful body of water we all love!

How lucky we are to have such an incredible watershed flowing through our backyards, there really is no where else on earth like the Twin Ports.
