Where the River Meets the Lake: Spring 2023 Newsletter
Welcome to the spring edition of the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve's newsletter. After an exceptionally snowy winter, it is exciting to see flocks of birds winging through the area on their way to northern breeding grounds. As you'll read below, FOLSR is helping to make the simple pleasure of watching migrating birds accessible to everyone, starting the 2023 season with an event on May 6.
FOLSR has also been busy with bees. Our April bee-box making workshop filled to capacity. With a bit of wood, glue and gumption, workshop participants made "hotels" for native bees such as miner and mason bees. These bees will hopefully lay eggs in the boxes and pollinate nearby flowers.
We're rolling up our sleeves for some spring cleaning, too. Join our annual Wisconsin Point spring cleanup on May 20. This FREE fun family activity could earn you a prize. But before the cleanup, come on out to our May 4 trivia night hosted by Cafe Scientifique Twin Ports from 6:30 to 7:30 at Dovetail Cafe in Duluth, Minn.
Read on for details and for FOLSR's latest news.
Your Friend,
