Speaker: Erica LeMoine, Loon Watch Program Director, Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute

The loon is a sentinel species—a living symbol of clean water, good fisheries and an indicator of healthy aquatic ecosystems.

Since 1978, LoonWatch has been protecting common loons and their aquatic habitats through education, monitoring and research.

At this presentation you will learn about loons, their calls, their ecology, and hear stories that teach us how to protect them. A great program for adults and kids alike — with time for questions.

Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve

The Madeline Island Wilderness Preserve is a non-profit land trust dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural areas on Madeline Island. The nature preserve lands are open to the public for hiking, skiing, berry-picking and hunting. MIWP is committed to education and advocacy — each summer we sponsor field trips and evening programs. Madeline Island is adjacent to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on the South Shore of Lake Superior in Wisconsin.
