Karen Sherper Rohs, Regional Extension Educator, Natural Resources Policy, Planning and Management

At the January 2003 Kick-off event, Stearns, Wright, and Sherburne County Shoreland Volunteers chose to create an advisory team to work with Karen on planning local shoreland education events and the activities. This advisory team met on March 24th for what proved to be an inspiring, energetic planning session! Thank you to the advisory team members: Curt Forst, Howard Lake (Wright); Coralee Fox, Sauk River (Todd); Tom Hammer, Lake Ann (Wright); George Kydd, Briggs Lake (Sherburne); Ray Rau, Granite Lake (Wright); and Miles Rychman, Big Watab Lake (Stearns). Upcoming education topics will include algae, funding sources, presentation skills, and septic systems. We also discussed the creation of a Shoreland Volunteer “calling card” for volunteers to use in their outreach, possible booths at local county fairs, finances, updating our member list, and means for recognizing our active volunteers.
