The Geography Department visits Lutsen!

On May 2-4, 2008, the Geography Department took its first field trip to Lutsen, MN. Three faculty and eleven students stayed at the Lutsen Resort on the north shore at a huge discount thanks to the contacts Dr. Lorah has made through his service with The Nature Conservancy. We toured Sugarloaf Cove State Scientific and Natural Area with one of its interpreters and learned about the unique nature of this fragile ecosystem and the impacts that have occurred as a result of north shore logging in the recent past. If you missed this trip, don’t worry. We are already planning on another field trip to northern Minnesota in the fall, so stay tuned.
