Students Celebrate St. Louis River Days
By:
DULUTH - This week Duluth Public School's 7th graders are celebrating all the St. Louis River has to offer. As part of St. Louis River Days they canoed on the large body of water at the Chambers Grove Park learning about its unique assets and local wildlife.
Students also participated in other educational, interpretive and activity based fun.
"We're hoping two things, one that the kids have a great time and that they get a deeper connection to both natural place and to their community,” Wilderness Inquiry Director of Programs and Partner Relations Chad Dayton said. “We're also hoping that we can begin to emphasize local public places as extensions of the classroom."
St. Louis River Days will wrap up Saturday with an event at Chambers Grove Park that's free and open to the public.
