Minnesota Schools Cutting Carbon

Join us at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN for the Lake Superior Youth Syposium. The event is for students and teachers (grades 8-12) who live in or care about the watersheds of Lake Superior. This year’s theme is global climate change & Lake Superior.

Come create nature-inspired artwork, gain an increased understanding of environmental issues and solutions, learn about wildlife tracking, and participate in geology field trips at the lakeshore.

LAKE SUPERIOR is truly an extraordinary place! The lake’s pristine beauty and frigid waters inspire us all. Equally special is the watershed, where forests, wetlands, placid lakes and bedrock cover the landscape and lively trout streams tumble toward the lake. Lake Superior contains 10% of the world’s supply of freshwater and 50% of all the water in the Great Lakes. Despite its immense size, Lake Superior is surprisingly fragile. Storm water runoff, algal blooms, contaminated sediments, invasive species, areas of concern, and the impact of global climate change threaten Lake Superior—“our lake.”

Cost is $125
