Swan Lake Presentation

North America’s largest wetland complex is located north of the Minnesota River near Nicollet and considered one of the most important breeding and migratory stopover for a diverse selection of birds.  In this presentation we will talk about the rich history of Swan Lake and the struggle to save this valuable resource.  Over the years it has faced many challenges including a petition to drain it for agricultural purposes and a significant decrease in the production of waterfowl.  Meet at the playground at the Day Use Area near the swimming pond.
