Mark your calendar for 'A River Resurgence: The Return of Manoomin' on April 7 from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at Clyde Iron Works. This is our annual St. Louis River Area of Concern Celebration of Progress and we'll be focusing on why manoomin (wild rice) is vital to the health of the river, what its return tells us about decades of restoration work, and what this progress means for the future of our community.

The evening will feature special guest speaker Deanna Erickson, Director of the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve, who will share insights on the importance of this sacred plant and all the St. Louis River relatives wild rice supports—including those of us living along, paddling, and ricing these waters.

MEET DEANNA:
Deanna Erickson has served as the Director at the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve since 2020 and was the first Education Coordinator in the nine years following the Reserve’s 2010 designation. She initiated the impactful Rivers2Lake Education Program, which provides extended mentoring in place-based and outdoor education for teachers in partnership with regional schools and led the development of the Lake Superior Estuarium on Barker's Island in Superior. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Natural Resource Management from the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and a Master of Education from the University of Minnesota Duluth, and has provided leadership in conservation, natural resource management and environmental education for over 20 years.
