This event is part of our River Revival series, a monthly gathering to learn about the river, ongoing restoration at Wisconsin Point and Allouez Bay, and ways to connect with these special places. Join our next gathering on Thursday, May 21 from 5-6:30 p.m. to learn about the Wisconsin Point Resiliency Study and the cultural importance of manoomin (wild rice).

MAY HIGHLIGHTS

The evening begins with a brief overview from the St. Louis River Alliance on how community voices are shaping restoration and recreation projects across the estuary. Staff from AMI Consulting Engineers will then share updates from the Wisconsin Point Resiliency Study, exploring shoreline protection, habitat health, and future planning for Wisconsin Point and Allouez Bay.

The highlight of the evening features guest speakers from the 1854 Treaty Authority, who will share the cultural and ecological importance of manoomin (wild rice) and its deep connection to the plants, animals, and people of the estuary, along with hands-on opportunities to see and feel harvesting tools and rice.

Hosted the third Thursday of the month April-September, each event features engaging presentations from local partners and knowledge holders, along with hands-on creative activities, informal conversation, and opportunities to share your questions and perspectives.
