There are just 2 spots left for our "Foraging and Feasting with Bo Brown" event on Thursday Evening (Sept 10). If you can't make the 4:30 foraging walk, you can sign up for just the dinner at 6:45. Cost for either the walk or the dinner is $30, cost for both is $50. We also still have the cabin and one guest bedroom available for Thursday night. You can sign up on the Iowisota website at https://www.iowisota.org/event-details-registration/foraging-and-feasting-with-bo-brown-at-iowisota

Spend a "watershed moment" reading my latest blog post at https://www.iowisota.org/post/watershed-moment It is about a 3-minute read this time and includes some pretty pictures and thoughts about water and watersheds. Enjoy!

As a retired (forest) pathologist, I have a morbid curiosity about what causes trees to die. That even holds true for trees I care a lot about! Read about it in my latest blog post at https://www.iowisota.org/post/morbid-curiosity

Grateful for a friend talking me into a spontaneous kayak romp into the backwaters of the Mississippi River on a summer day!

Quick trip to WI today. The “wis” in the middle of ioWISota is for Wisconsin, y’know.
