On March 12, WICOLA Members, Nancy Powers and Teresa Sagen, joined a group of about 30 people at Vermilion Community College to address invasive species and sustainable landscapes in Northern Minnesota. The workshop was organized by Ely Field Naturalists, Superior National Forest, and the 1854 Treaty Authority. The workshop was led by representatives from The Stewardship Network, located in Lansing, MI, and focused on the strength of working together as a Collaborative Conservation Community for a more collective impact. Individuals and organizations represented at the workshop will continue to explore the potential for forming a CCC. The Stewardship Network is a national award-winning conservation group with the purpose of connecting, equipping and mobilizing people and organizations to care for land and water.
