What are wetlands and what is different about those in northern Minnesota, why do we want and need them, and how can we use regulations to help prevent damage?
The Itasca Water Wisdom online webinar series, co-sponsored by MNSG, kicks off 2024 with a presentation by Jennie Skancke of the Minnesota DNR and David Demmer from Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources on the importance and protection of wetlands in Minnesota.
