River Congress:
Each spring, students, teachers, and community members are invited to attend the annual St.
Louis River - River Watch Congress hosted at the Fond du Lac Tribal and
Community College campus. The Congress is a forum for people to share
information, celebrate accomplishments, and learn more about the natural and
cultural history of the St. Louis River watershed region. Throughout the
day-long event, participants attend learning sessions featuring a variety of
environmental and river-related activities and information. Area professionals,
environmental educators, and the students themselves lead the exciting and
thought-provoking learning sessions. These session leaders encourage stewardship
of the watershed through a variety of activities. Student-designed posters and
exhibits reflecting their monitoring data and River Watch experiences are on
display throughout the day.
