You can get outside and help support the Mink River Preserve on April 28th and 29th. The preserve is one of the few high-quality freshwater estuaries remaining in North America. You can help by volunteering to plant trees in the area. Trees not only protect ground and surface water, but they also provide habitats for migratory birds that pass through Door County and the rest of Wisconsin. Throughout the 28th and 29th volunteers will be filling in gaps where trees have died. Trees have many benefits to the environment, they give us the air we breathe, they also reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by sequestering carbon in new growth every year and they provide habitats for wildlife. Kari Hagenow, North East Wisconsin Land Steward for the Nature Conservancy, talks about how visiting and appreciating nature is the first step to preserving it.
