Where the River Meets the Lake - Summer 2025 Newsletter

I want to start with a huge Thank You to those who signed the letter of support for the National Estuarine Research Reserve System, contacted congressional delegates on behalf of the Lake Superior Reserve, volunteered time and/or donated money to further the mission of the Friends of the Lake Superior Reserve. What we do as individuals and as a community matters.

When reading this newsletter, I hope you are inspired to see what FOLSR and the Lake Superior Reserve have been accomplishing. I am particularly proud of our community for making a mark on the map showcased in the article "Support Starts with Your Name." The Duluth-Superior community (population size ~87K) is smaller than many surrounding the other 29 reserves in the system and we consistently punch above our weight. You'll also see that our volunteers removed over 200 lbs of trash and another 139 lbs of invasive spotted knapweed from Wisconsin Point.

You, too, are invited to be part of the fun and the mission. FOLSR is looking for new board members and volunteers. We're also exploring new ways to connect with the community and support the Lake Superior Reserve and the ecosystems it encompasses. Please contact us if you want to learn more about how you can participate in FOLSR's activities: outreach@folsr.org.

Your Friend,

Sharon, FOLSR Board Chair
