Swan Lake Presentation
Join the Minneopa Area Naturalist Scott Kudelka for a presentation on Swan Lake at the New Ulm Public Library at 6 p.m. on February 11th (Tuesday).
Swan Lake is considered the largest wetland complex in North America and a critical waterfowl habitat area. Thousands of ducks and other birds stop on their migrating route or breeding on this 10,000 acre wetland.
This presentation will focus on the history of Swan Lake including its formation and once the site of a Dakota Village. In addition, Kudelka will also talk about some of birds that can be found and how Swan Lake has dealt with a variety of issues including water levels and carp.
