This short documentary by Sustainable Driftless, Inc. captures breath-taking aerial views with raptors soaring over the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge (Refuge), which is used by about 40% of the nation’s waterfowl as a migratory route. It also shows our bluffs and farm fields with expansive cave systems. And did you know a small town in the Driftless is the sink hole capital of the world?The video will be introduced with an educational component by Tim Yager, a regional expert, who appeared in the first of the three videos on the Driftless, Mysteries of the Driftless. Tim worked as a District Manager in the Driftless Region for the Refuge. He will address, “What Is the Driftless Region?”, and “Why is the Driftless Region so unique and special?” There will also be a Q & A session after the video along with refreshments. We hope you will join us for this educational screening.
The Friends are a 501(c)3 volunteer organization based in Winona, MN with members from the surrounding area, both in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Friends host activities throughout the year that bring people onto the Refuge (paddling, fishing, birdwatching), assist refuge staff with biological surveys, and educate and advocate on behalf of the Refuge. Information about how you can become a Friend and get involved in supporting your refuge will be available at the event.
