  • SNW Virtual Meeting Minutes Sept 2020
    Barents Euro-Arctic Council Working Group on Environment Subgroup on Nature and Water Minutes of the virtual meeting 23.9.2020 1. Opening of the meeting Chair of the Subgroup Anna Kuhmonen opened the meeting and introduced the agenda. The meeting started with a round of introductions. The list of participants can be found at the end of this document. Ilona Grekelä acts as secretary and writes the minutes. 2. Adoption of the minutes from the previous meeting The Minutes from the previous meeting were adopted. The annex 1 to the SNW work programme 2020-2022 Project list has been updated. This document was delivered to the subgroup ahead of the meeting. New updates are welcome in the future as well to the email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]. Always before the meeting SNW’s members will get the updated project list. 3. Suggestion on Biodiversity commitment from the Barents Region Ms. Henna Haapala, Ministry of the Environment of Finland (presentation) WGE chair Ms. Henna Haapala presented a suggestion for a joint voluntary commitment to protect biodiversity, that could be given under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Haapala noted that the Barents region has unique and special ecosystems and already long experience of cross-border initiatives to protect it. The CBD has invited stakeholders ranging from public and private organizations to individuals to give voluntary commitments. Link to CBD is especially topical now, as the Aichi targets are expiring in 2020 and a new global biodiversity framework is being negotiated. The voluntary commitment from the Barents region is suggested to focus on freshwater ecosystems primarily in the river catchment areas that cross either international borders or borders between regions/counties/oblasts.

  • Stave Churches Are Unique to Norway. It Is Considered the "Most Important Example of Wooden Medieval Architecture in Europe." a Stave Church Is Made Entirely of Wood
    Stave churches are unique to Norway. It is considered the "most important example of wooden Medieval architecture in Europe." A stave church is made entirely of wood. Poles ("staver" in Norwegian) has given it its name. Most of the churches were built before 1350, but most did not survive since the supporting timber was placed directly into the ground and experienced rot and collapsed in time. <fjordnorway.com> The construction involved columns, planks and supports that were joined by dovetailing pegs and wedges with glue or nails. In the source, <ingebretsens.com> a thorough review of history and construction can be read. Stave churches have fine detail with a combination of Christian designs and pre‐Christian Viking themes with animals and dragons. It is believed that Norway had over one thousand churches. That number has dwindled to less than 25 today. The one we visited in Bergen, Norway can be viewed on acuri.net. The church in Rapid City is a replica of the Borgund stave church built in 1180 and was dedicated to the Apostle Andrew in Laerdal, Norway. It is still well preserved. From the <Chapel‐in the‐Hills> website, we learn the following about the history of this church: "It is the result of a dream of one man and the generous support of another...In the 1960's, the originator and preacher of the Lutheran Vespers radio hour, Dr. Harry R. Gregerson, was looking to expand the scope of his popular radio ministry. As his dream took shape, Dr. Gregerson realized there was the perfect location for his facility right in his own state of South Dakota in the Black Hills.

Prior to the War of 1812, an Indian runner was dispatched with a war belt of wampum with a request for the Dakotas and Chippewas to meet at the big bend of the Wisconsin River (Portage). While camped on the banks of the Lemonweir, the runner dreamed that he had lost his belt of wampum at his last sleeping place. On waking in the morning, he found his dream to be a reality and he hastened back to retrieve the belt. During the 1820's, the French-Canadian fur traders called the river, La memoire - the memory. The Lemonweir rises in the extensive swamps and marshes in Monroe County.
