WWW.MOOSEWOOD.ORG Letter From the Executive Director We had a great fall and winter season, beginning with a cider workshop, cranberry hunt, Timber Wolves, a nature concert, and the most successful Haunted Bog Walk and Friendly Frights Forest ever. I had the oppor- tunity to represent MooseWood on a Sister City Delegation visit to Japan. We are keeping abreast of invasive plant species by continuing to attend the annual RRip-It Up conference. We are building relationships with the Marquette area Native American community and the NMU Center for Native American Studies by participat- ing in the Decolonizing Diet Project (DDP) which is looking at the health, environmental and social effects of a year-long indigenous diet, and by considering a wigwam project near the pond. Winter programming in- cluded furbearers of the Great Lakes, a wreath building program, quinzhee snow shelter building, snowshoe hikes and a birch bark craft program. Our year was capped with the annual meeting where NMU Professor Dr. John Anderton shared the secrets of Presque Isle’s natural history. As we transition into spring, we look forward to the return of our highly regarded maple syrup program, and the return of our annual late winter fund raiser, the Candlelight Ski, Snowshoe and Hike. Please join us for some great times, playing and learning out- doors. Andrew Bek Thank You Community Foundation! A big thank you to the Marquette County Community Foun- dation for contributing grant funding to install doorways be- tween the nature center’s main exhibition room and the multi- purpose former pool room in the back. Besides installing a full sized door, we removed some steel railings from the back room and opened up the wall between the rooms so that our members and visitors can easily access displays, programming and events held in the multipurpose room. The comments from our attendees have been very positive. The flow of a visitor’s experience at MooseWood Nature Center is enhanced by being able to see the live animals and displays, and enjoy a craft, program, concert or workshop. The new flow leads the visitor to the gateway to our pool to pond project, currently in planning and design stages. The new doorway the joins the Nature Center and the new multi-purpose room.

The monarch mi- gration is truly one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, yet it is threatened by habitat loss in North America – at the over- wintering sites and throughout the spring and summer breeding range as well. Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. Without milkweeds (the only host plant for monarch larvae) throughout their spring and summer breeding areas in North America, monarchs would not be able to produce the suc- cessive generations that culminate in the migration each fall. Similarly, without nectar from flowers these fall migratory mon- arch butterflies would be unable to make their long journey to The native Monarch butterfly is seen nectaring on a favorite food source. overwintering grounds in Mexico.

  • Winter Camping and Backpacking Tips
    Winter Camping and Backpacking Tips Camping or backpacking in the snow appeals to anyone who enjoys the beauty and peacefulness of a pristine winter wonderland. There are no bugs or crowds, and who doesn't enjoy playing in the snow? With a little preparation, you also might be surprised at how comfortable it can be. Here's a look at how to get started. Pre-trip Planning Winter outings offer different challenges than summer camping. You must be prepared for more severe weather and shorter daylight hours by having extra gear and additional skills. Before you leave home, have a plan. Don't go alone. Share your adventure with a few friends who have expertise in different winter skills (snow shelters, route finding, snow travel, etc.). Study maps and research the area. How long will it take to get there and set up camp? If something goes wrong, what emergency services (i.e., medical, search & rescue) are closest? Talk to people who have been there and can give you pointers. Check the weather forecast. Are conditions favorable? The NOAA-NWS Web site offers detailed backcountry forecasts. Check the local road and trail conditions. Recognize and avoid avalanche areas. Check the local avalanche forecast and don't go if avalanche danger is high. Keep in mind that avalanche forecasts may be general and not accurate for specific areas. If you are on or near any slope greater than 20°, your group should have formal avalanche training. Leave a trip plan. Let others know where you'll be, when you'll be there, when you'll return, vehicle information and names and contact number for participants in your group.

    OKPIK ADVISOR PLANNING GUIDE 2019-2020 NORTHERN TIER HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAMS BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA “Delivering Wilderness Adventure That Lasts a Lifetime” Northern Tier High Adventure Programs PO Box 509 Ely, MN 55731 Phone: 218.365.4811 Fax 218.365.3112 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.ntier.org Welcome! For over forty years the Okpik program of Northern Tier National High Adventure Programs has provided safe, exhilarating and challenging adventures for thousands of youth and adult participants. The name, Okpik, comes from the Inuit word for the Arctic or Snowy Owl which has been used as the symbol for the Okpik program since it began in the early 1970’s. Okpik Participants learn how to cross-country ski, snowshoe, dogsled, ice fish, build snow shelters and enjoy life in extreme weather conditions and temperatures. All groups are accompanied by a trained staff instructor, called an Interpreter, who serves as a teacher of cold weather camping skills. The Okpik program fully outfits crews with group gear and almost all necessary personal clothing (see the included gear list). The goal of the Okpik program is to instruct crews on how to see low temperatures as an opportunity, not a barrier, to turn a 3-season camper into a year-round camper. Okpik is hosted at the Charles L. Sommers base of Northern Tier, outside of Ely, Minnesota. Crews explore the Superior National Forest and the famed Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), a massive wilderness area that lies directly adjacent to the base property. No city lights, no noise, simply wilderness.

  • Gathering Birch and Birch Bark
    Birch and Birch Bark by John Zasada, USDA Forest Service All species of trees that we most commonly think of as "timber species" have potential commodity values, often referred to as non-timber forest products (NTFP) or special forest products, that are not necessarily related to wood and fiber products. Some of these NTFP values are recognized and commercially important and others are secreted in the history of Native Americans and other people who at one time in their past depended on natural products for their physical and spiritual well-being. Paper birch is one example of a species that was an important part of Native American culture and has considerable potential for NTFP. Before discussing NTFP from birch, we need to consider the potential for multiple products from this tree and from birch forests. The diagram below illustrates the potential product available from a birch stand as it develops through time. Admittedly, this is an idealized view of the potential. However, there are examples of uses of birch for each of the products indicated in the diagram. There has never been a plan to attempt to harvest all of these products from birch trees and stands in the same geographic area. Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan would provide a good area to test these ideas. The two main products harvested from birch without killing the tree are sap and bark and, to a very minor extent, the roots. The method of collecting birch sap is generally similar to that of maple. Birch sap differs significantly, however, from maple in that it has simple sugars (glucose and fructose) rather than the more complex sugars of maple (sucrose).
