There is always something to learn here. The Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center gives a terrific introduction to our past and our environment. Many persons give lectures and meetings to share their special subjects from stewardship of the environment and sustainable food and agriculture, to health care and social issues, crafts and special local features of the lands and waters and their inhabitants. A delightful example is the Bird and Nature Festival that occurs during the birds' migratory season.
