Voyageurs National Park Presents “Change, It’s Not Just In Your Pocket” – Friday, July 17
Aerial photos taken by satellites and aircraft are used to track changes of the forests in and around Voyageurs National Park. By tracking these changes we can provide land managers with information to make informed decisions.
Join Ulf Gafvert and Al Kirschbaum of the National Park Service’s Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring program on a journey from a satellite in space down to a plot on the ground. Participants will have a bird’s eye view of the changes that have taken place at Voyageurs National Park throughout the years.
Evening programs are offered every Friday night during the summer at the historic Woodenfrog State Forest Campground Refectory near Kabetogama Lake from 7:00 – 8:00 pm. Programs are sponsored by the Friends of Voyageurs National Park. No fee or registration is required to attend. Visit www.nps.gov/voya for more information, or contact Kabetogama Lake Visitor Center at 218-875-2111 for more information.
