The River Talks – Islands Without Black Ash: Caring for Wetland Forests

Get to know the river in your backyard! Join us for The River Talks – a free learning series hosted at the Lake Superior Estuarium.

On December 10, Kirsten Rhude, Stewardship Coordinator at the Lake Superior Reserve, will tell us about the changes happening in wetland forests:
Black ash trees are abundant along the St. Louis River Estuary and Lake Superior’s coast. However, the non-native emerald ash borer reached the region in 2013, threatening these trees and the habitat they provide. Come learn about the importance of these coastal wetlands and the restoration efforts to help steward wetland forests long into the future.

The Lake Superior Estuarium is located at 3 Marina Drive on Barkers Island in Superior, WI (it’s the red building).

You may request an interpreter, materials in an alternative language or format, or other services to make this event more accessible, by contacting the Reserve at least 20 days before the event. There’s no added cost to you for these services.
The University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming in compliance with state and federal law.
