Spring Thaw Virtual Program on April 8
At this free virtual event on April 8 park supporters can tune-in to hear about recent project successes in Voyageurs National Park. Special keynote speakers Kevin Hainline and Dr. Anton Treuer will help us reconnect with each other through the stars. Kevin is a nationally recognized astronomer who will leave you with ways to take in the night sky and experience Voyageurs National Park like never before. Following, Dr. Treuer - professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University - will share a traditional Ojibwe star story with audience members.

Sip Voyageurs five grain whiskey by Tattersall Distilling Company
Sip. Seize the night. Protect the night. Tattersall Distilling Company is helping us celebrate the preservation of starry skies with a limited edition Voyageurs Five Grain Whiskey.
This whiskey is distilled from a blend of five grains - oat, wheat, rye, corn and barley - and then aged in charred Minnesota White Oak barrels. Proceeds benefit the Voyageurs Conservancy's work to protect and preserve the park's lands, waters and skies.
Voyageurs Five Grain Whiskey is now available as a 375 ml bottle (limit one per customer) at Tattersall's takeout window in NE Minneapolis. Later this month, 750 ml bottles will be available for purchase at select retailers across the state.
