Presented by Wild Rivers Conservancy at Highway 70 Landing

Join Ranger Dan from the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway for a morning kayaking the wild and scenic St. Croix River listening and looking for our feathered friends.

Then, join us after the paddle for a box lunch and interactive information at Beez Kneez headquarters in Grantsburg and learn about honey bees with beekeeper Kristy Allen of the Beez Kneez and researcher Dr. Marla Spivak of the UMN Bee Lab.
