Interested in planting pines that paddlers will appreciate many years from now? Pack the ol’ jalopy, your gardening gloves, and head on up to Gunflint GreenUp. A annual event where local residents, businesses and visitors come together to restore the cedar, jack and red pine forests that were affected by the Ham Lake Fire of May 2007. On your down time, enjoy naturalist lead hikes, or head off on your own, with miles to explore. Make a bonfire in the evening or take in local music. Attend demonstrations and exhibits on “green living”. Many local outfitters and lodges providing great discounts for lodging. Reserve early. An worthwhile opportunity for everyone to give back – even the kids.
Register here.
Can’t attend? You can donate your part of the forest here.
