Bears in the Bog
May 2024:  The Baudette Area Forestry helped Big Bog State Recreation Area staff put on this event. Elementary students were taught about fire towers and fishing. They also toured the visitor center and the board walk where they learned about black bears and unique plants found in a bog. The kids were very engaged; the forestry staff enjoyed all the questions and excitement at each station. It was especially rewarding to help kids catch their first fish and hear that they wanted to spend more time outdoors with their family.
