Meet a Bald Eagle 🦅 next Thursday, November 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Centennial Library! The U of M Raptor Center will also introduce us to three other amazing birds of prey (likely an owl, hawk, and falcon), one of our librarians will do a story time for kids, and we'll have crafts too.

This event is part of the development of the Circle Pines environmental stewardship plan which will outline simple ways our community can work together to take care of our shared natural resources—land, soil, water, plants, air, and wildlife.

Right now, we're gathering community input through a survey that's open through the end of November. You can take the survey at the event or online here » https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EnvironmentalStewardshipPlan

Anyone missing a very large log?? This baby blew to the west side of the lake last weekend. It has a cinder block attached to it as an anchor. The current stewards are happy to pull it over when we get boats in if it’s yours!
