Hidden in the Trees, An Isle Royale Sojourn
Algonquin - main floor Fri 5:30pm-6:15pm
Remote, insulated from man’s influence by the frigid waters of Lake Superior, and protected by the National Park Service, Isle Royale doubles as a wilderness escape for outdoor enthusiasts and as one of the foremost outdoor laboratories in the world for wildlife studies. As such, in 1984, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization designated Isle Royale a world biosphere reserve.
Award-winning Author / Arborist Vic Foerster will share with us his many years spent paddling Isle Royale’s waters. From the shores of this wilderness archipelago, Vic recounts his search for a Great Lakes wilderness, a habitat he seldom sees in his more normal haunts where he cares for trees inside our urban forests. Through his eyes, come experience a landscape that’s been allowed to freely evolve for over 80 years.
