River Talk to Focus on Wild Rice

The next monthly River Talk is scheduled for Mar. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Clyde Iron Works Restaurant  (2920 W. Michigan St., Duluth, Minn.). Thomas Howes, natural resources program manager with the Fond du Lac Tribe of Lake Superior Chippewa, will present, “Gaa Miininangwaa Ganawenjigwein (Taking Care of the Gifts Given to Us),” which deals with wild rice management, research and restoration in the estuary by the tribe.

Wisconsin Sea Grant and the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) have teamed up to offer this series of science café-type evening talks about the St. Louis River Estuary. These informal “River Talks” began in 2013 and are held on the last Tuesday of the month through May. Grab a mug of coffee or maybe a glass of beer and join us!
