Join Itasca Waters and Minnesota Sea Grant in the final chapter of the 2025 Itasca Water Wisdom online webinar series, co-sponsored by MNSG.
This is a special holiday edition of Practical Water Wisdom to help you shop for good books for the children and young folks on your list. Minnesota Sea Grant’s Hilarie Sorensen and John Downing will review and discuss several books with water themes, giving ideas about the books that are both entertaining and (of course) scientifically accurate. They will also be joined by Sawyer Lorentz, the author of a special water-themed coloring book. Holly Ristau, a former storyteller with the Manomen School District will give us insight into how to tell your water story.
