A UU Perspective on Freeing the Upper Mississippi
Program Leader: Molly MacGregor
Learn about Cass Lake through time and explore the lake’s connections to us and the world.
UUs believe in the interconnectedness of all things, but how is Cass Lake connected to us? How was the lake formed, how is it part of the Mississippi River, how has it been used by people, and how has that use changed over time? Our inquiry into the interconnectedness of Cass Lake will combine informational sessions with hands-on activities.
