Public Presentations:

7:00 p.m: Beaver Crafted Wetlands: Amphibian and Invertebrate Communities in the Boreal Forest with Talon Stammen
It’s no secret that the humble beaver is a builder by trade, and can have a serious impact on the northern landscape (even in downtown Grand Marais!). Beavers are considered both ecosystem engineers and keystone species because their dam building activities affect the hydrologic conditions and vegetation of wetlands, providing important habitat for many wildlife species. Talon Stammen, long time student of craft at North House, is completing his PhD research on the impacts of beavers on amphibian and invertebrate species in Voyageurs National Park. Talon will share his findings and his explorations of the Kabetogama Peninsula over a four year period.

7:00 p.m: A History of Fish, Fishing, and Fisheries Management in the Minnesota Waters of Lake Superior
The history of fish, fishing, and fisheries management in Lake Superior is complex and has been impacted through time by the absence of fishery regulations, changes to habitat, invasive species, and climate change. In this presentation, Minnesota DNR’s Lake Superior Fisheries Supervisor Cory Goldsworthy will highlight many of these impacts as well as provide insight into changes to the fish community and ecosystem through time and the current science and management behind Minnesota’s Lake Superior fishery.
