If you haven’t stepped into the Pines this year be ready to be surprised. The ice cream area is now the bar and bar area is now the ice cream shop, so the entrances have changed . It looks as they brought in Joanna Gaines to design the space.
Looks Fantastic!!

We’re very grateful to Wendy Thiede for recording Zach Wilson’s excellent presentation about shoreline buffer zones at The Pines last Wednesday night. In case you weren’t able to attend, you can watch it here.

Thing one: Buffer zones and the critters that inhabit them with Zach Wilson at The Pines
Iron County Lakes and Rivers Alliance (ICLRA) will present their next educational program on Wednesday, August 31st at 6:00 PM at The Pines Beer Garden in Mercer. Our own Iron County Conservation Specialist, Zach Wilson, will speak to the group.
Zach’s program will be on buffer zones and the lesser-known critters that live in and around them. Riparian owners are required to leave buffer zones along the lake shore, but what is a buffer zone and why is it important for habitat? In discussions of the health of our lakes, we often talk about fish and large mammals, but turtles, frogs, dragon flies and other inhabitants also influence the delicate balance in our watersheds. These will be the focus of Zach’s presentation.
Thing two: Fill out this quick survey from the Wisconsin DNR, and tell them what you think!
Are you interested in outdoor recreation in Wisconsin? Do you have thoughts about what is currently available and what’s most needed? Complete a recently released survey on outdoor recreation in Wisconsin.
Information generated from the survey will be used to develop the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). SCORPs are intended to evaluate outdoor recreation trends and issues and set forth ideas about recreation’s future role in the state. Put simply, they are the blueprint for outdoor recreation in the state and provide broad guidance to governments at all levels, communities, businesses and organizations on recreation needs and opportunities.
