Native Night Skies by Joan Vorderbruggen I don’t recall who first pointed out the Big Dipper to me, but as a young girl growing up in Eastern Otter Tail County, I always felt exhilarated whenever I searched for it in the abundant cast of stars above my head. I found the dark night sky to be an exciting place to explore another world high above me, while feet were still planted firmly upon the earth. Humbled and awe- struck by the vastness I felt a part of, I wondered who else might be searching the skies that same night, or what the people who came before me had seen in the patterns formed by the multitude of white, yellow, blue and reddish dots above my head. We are at a point where many people - especially younger generations - are losing their connection to the beauty and mysteries that the night sky holds. Our night skies are becoming dimmed with excessive light pollution, even from outdoor lighting in rural and small town areas. Fortunately, there are people around the world who are recognizing how important it is to preserve dark skies, creating special place designations to protect and preserve the heritage night skies, and encouraging communities to turn down the lights. We are fortunate to have two internationally recognized dark-sky areas in : is a designated Dark Sky Park 1; and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness became the 13th world designated Dark Night Skies Story continued on page 2 Sustaining Impact of Legacy Giving by Dan Malmstrom The beautiful park we experience today is due in large part to legacy giving from families who saw Glendalough as unique enough to preserve for future generations. This article will cite examples of planned-giving with the hope that more Park Partners will consider such investments. It must be said at the outset, Park Partners is grateful for more than $300,000 and volunteer time countless individuals have given at the “Walk” over the past 30 years. It all has made Glendalough great! Glendalough’s very inception is the result of amazing generosity by the Cowles / Ballantine families as they gifted 2,000 acres of shoreline, forest and prairie to the Nature’s Conservancy en route to becoming a state park. Imagine the value of the pristine shoreline along Blanche, Annie Battle and Molly Stark lakes alone? Remarkably, their commitment to Glendalough continues with family donations from their wills and trusts toward our long-range projects. A similar, lesser known example involves the 40 acres of restored prairie directly south of the park’s entrance along County Highway #16 and adjacent to North Shore Drive. As the story goes, in the late 1950s, Gene (deceased 2018) and Dorothy Porter from Fergus Falls bought that land which Inside: included about a 1/4 mile of lakeshore frontage on West President's Remarks - 2 Vintage Glendalough - 4 Battle Lake.

President’s Remarks I recall making a presentation just a few short years ago about Glendalough at the annual meeting of the Otter Tail Lake Property Owners Association. I asked the audience to guess what the annual attendance at the park was for that year, and they started at 10,000. They were flabbergasted when I told them we had just exceeded 50,000 visitors. Well, the numbers are in for 2020, and the final total visitor count was 127,099! This is amazing, especially when you consider that Park Manager Jeff Wiersma and a small part- time staff hosted all our visitors, tended to their needs and managed the never-ending upkeep the park requires. Thank you, Jeff, for your hard work and dedication! And not to be I strongly encourage you to spend some time with the outdone, 2021 started off with a bang when, on New Year’s night skies!

A narrow canal had been dug from Blanche to Emma, a duck hunting pass with pits for shooters. It was in one of these pits that we came upon a snapping turtle, huge in my memory. He'd been trapped long enough that his escape efforts had worn the clay sides of the pit smooth.
