The River Talks, a series of informal science presentations, returns at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12, for the season with “Wild Stories of Wildlife on the St. Louis River,” an in-person and Zoom presentation by Martha Minchak, former assistant area wildlife manager for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Her talk will be held at the Lake Superior Estuarium (3 Marina Dr., Superior, Wis.).
Minchak will regale with tales of her work for 22 years as “the face of Minnesota DNR Wildlife in Duluth,” which included the St. Louis River Estuary. She will discuss changes in the Estuary over her career and her unique experiences with wildlife and people. Refreshments will be provided.
