Miles Rychman at the Sportsme’s Show, February 16th.

Dennis Cords, George Kydd, Joe Chovan, Ray Rau, Janet Matthees, Joan Andersen, Harvey Woods, Bob and Jan Bjork, Janet Donaldson, Jim Deters, Suzanne Chmielewski, and Miles Rychman staffed the booth at the Sportsmen’s Show, St. Cloud, February 14-16, 2003.

Information from the Sea Grant program on exotic species was available, including aquatic exotic field guides and watch cards on exotic species like Eurasian watermilfoil and zebra mussels. Attendees were able to touch the zebra mussels and see them attached to surfaces using materials from the Sea Grant’s Exotic Aquatics Traveling Trunk.

The volunteers also had a display from the University of Minnesota Extension Service entitled Turfgrass Management to Protect Water Quality. Lawn care cards outlining a calendar for maintenance were distributed with fact sheets on phosphorus-free fertilizer.

A new computer kiosk attracted kids to “Desdemona’s Splash”, an educational game on watersheds!
