As our nation and state continues to respond to this pandemic, we sadly will NO longer be able to host our Annual Dinner as planned on April 30. Rather than trying to reschedule the event at this time we will continue to follow the lead of federal and state health experts to determine if and when it is prudent to do so.
Thank you for your patience and for all the support you provide in this work of acquiring, protecting, and enhancing the critical land for the public’s use and benefit.

A proud citizen of the Grand Portage Anishinabe Nation and manager of Grand Portage State Park, Travis Novitsky will share his spectacular nature photography.
Travis has found peace and beauty in the night sky, which lately has been his prime subject. “I have experienced many nights where the silence is deafening,” he says. “To hear that silence you need to push everything out of your mind and let yourself truly be in that moment.”
