SUMMARY:Annual Volunteer Manoomin/Wild Rice Planting on the St. Louis River @ Allouez Bay -Superior
DESCRIPTION:The St. Louis River Alliance is excited to host our annual volunteer Manoomin/wild rice planting on the St. Louis River! This year\, we will be seeding on two days at two different locations.\nTo accommodate as many people as possible\, we ask volunteers to select ONE of the following planting dates:\n**Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026 | 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.Allouez Bay\, Superior — launching from Wisconsin Point Lot 2**Thursday\, September 10\, 2026 | 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.Kingsbury Bay\, Duluth — launching from Spirit Lake Marina (121 Spring Street\, Duluth)\n–>Register here: https://forms.gle/uAtfaaLdPVVgEWTq9\nVolunteers will help distribute Manoomin/wild rice seed by canoe\, supporting the ongoing ecological and cultural restoration of this important waterway. Space is limited to 10–12 volunteers per day\, so early registration is encouraged.\nThe Alliance will provide canoes and PFDs for volunteers who do not have their own. Please note that kayaks are not suitable for this activity\, as canoes are needed to carry heavy bags of seed. Prior canoe experience\, including the ability to steer from the stern using J-strokes and other techniques\, is highly recommended.\nWe will send a follow-up email to all registered volunteers closer to the planting dates with meeting locations\, what to bring\, and other details. Planting plans are weather dependent and may change based on wind and conditions.\nFor questions\, contact Callie at callie@stlouisriver.org. Come spend a morning on the St. Louis River and be part of this special annual effort to restore Manoomin in the estuary!

DESCRIPTION:Join the St. Louis River Alliance\, in partnership with the University of Minnesota Duluth Recreational Sports Outdoor Program (UMD RSOP) and Day Tripper of Duluth\, for an evening of hands-on instruction designed to help you become a safer\, more confident paddler. \nRather than a traditional paddling class\, this event lets you customize your experience. During registration\, you’ll rank your preferred workshops and be assigned sessions based on your experience level\, interests\, and workshop availability. Small class sizes ensure plenty of personalized instruction. \nWorkshops are offered in three formats: \n\n\nDry Land – Learn essential paddling knowledge without getting on the water. \n\n\nOn Water – Practice paddling techniques while staying in your kayak (expect wet feet and occasional splashing). \n\n\nIn Water – Build confidence through hands-on rescue and recovery skills (expect full immersion). \n\n\nEach workshop includes a location\, activity level\, and “how wet you’ll get” rating to help you choose the sessions that best match your comfort level and goals. \nScroll down to the Workshop Descriptions for details about each session\, including what you’ll learn\, who it’s best suited for\, and any prerequisites. \nWhether you’re preparing for your first kayak purchase\, hoping to paddle the St. Louis River or Lake Superior with more confidence\, or simply looking to develop new skills in a supportive environment\, there’s a workshop for you. \nAll required paddling equipment—including kayaks\, paddles\, personal flotation devices (PFDs)\, and safety gear—will be provided. Participants who own a sea kayak are encouraged to indicate this during registration\, as bringing your own boat will help reduce rental needs. \nParticipants must be 12 years or older. Youth ages 12–17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nSpace is limited to approximately 60 participants\, and advance registration is required. During registration\, you’ll be asked to rank your first\, second\, and third workshop choices. We will do our best to place participants in their preferred sessions while balancing workshop capacities and experience levels. \nRain date: To be announced. \nIf online registration is not accessible to you\, please contact the St. Louis River Alliance at outreach@stlouisriver.org for assistance. \n\n\n\n\n  \nFollow Link to register  https://www.stlouisriver.org/events/easy-paddling-a-beginner-kayak-workshop?fbclid=IwY2xjawTPIQtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFyME9vVjFFZGxLSU9mZ2RNc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHnWppvUOYeqmqSRIna8tdOXOouDBM-16tk5uwSMbK7TuRzBAbkdXMRN88rLY_aem_vY70HUiGZDIrNCzoAtwp9Q
