Watershed Connections: Loons and Local Lakes
We’re all a little loony for Minnesota’s state bird! Whether you only know Common Loons by their iconic calls, or you are a long-time loon watcher, these charismatic birds will never stop surprising you. We will dive into the physical and behavioral characteristics that make Common Loons unique, while highlighting the relationship loons have with the intricate freshwater ecosystems. We will also learn what we can do to better protect loons from the environmental conflicts they face today.
Maddi Nistler is the Education & Outreach Manager at the National Loon Center in Crosslake, MN. Her life-long love for the outdoors and inner workings of the natural world has led her to become a MN Master Naturalist and advocate for Common Loons.
This FREE workshop will be held at the Forest Lake Senior Community Center (767 4th St SW, Forest Lake, MN 55025) starting at 6:00 p.m. The workshop includes a boxed supper, an hour presentation, and time for open discussion after the presentation.
