Minnesota is home to incredible public lands! How do you bring these special places into your classroom? Join the education teams from Voyageurs Conservancy, Wild Rivers Conservancy, and Mississippi Park Connection, for this year’s National Parks Education Retreat, hosted in Voyageurs National Park!
