Woodstock Bay Clean-up Event (photos)
The Alliance hosted a “Water Wednesday” clean up event to celebrate the ‘adoption’ of the Woodstock Bay Public Landing. Thank you to all of our volunteers who came out to help keep the landing beautiful! A big thank you to the City of Superior for providing grabbers, garbage bags and gloves. We had great weather and were pleasantly surprised with the small amount of garbage that was collected (1 large bag). Let’s keep Superior and our water ways clean so everyone can enjoy these landings!
The clean-up event was held at Woodstock Bay Landing on Wednesday, June 22nd from 6-8 p.m. This event was in conjunction with SLRA’s on-going ‘Water Wednesdays’, a series of talks and events revolving around deepening understandings, connections, and stewardship of the land and our beloved St. Louis River. Water Wednesdays are held the 4th Wednesday of each month, March-September 2022. For future events, click here.
This public access landing is on 28th Street along the edge of the Superior Municipal Forest, which contains more than 22 miles of shoreline along the St Louis River. The site improvements include an improved paddle launch, overlooks, pavilion, vault restroom, enhanced ice fishing access, shoreline stabilization, parking lot and many plantings.
“The more we build that relationship with the river, the more we fall in love with the river and care about it, and them people are less likely to damage it or destroy it, so people treat it with respect. So, we’re just trying to create more opportunities for people to connect with the river,”
-Kris Eilers, Executive Director or St. Louis River Alliance
