This month's show topped out at a new record of 29 minutes. We usually try to keep them shorter but we had a great time interviewing two guests this month, Jamie McBride and April Rust. Jamie was the outgoing president and April was the incoming president of the Minnesota Naturalists' Association. We caught up with them at Lake Shetek in southern Minnesota at the annual Minnesota Naturalists' Association conference.
Last Month's Trivia Answer:
Last month's question asked what piece of land was set aside as the first state park by the Minnesota legislature but never actually became a park? Who now owns the land and by what name do we call it?
The person with the correct answer was Oakley. Way to go! She knew that the land is Minnehaha Park which is now owned and operated by the City of Minneapolis.
