GeoSpatial to help with State Water Trails Day

Saint Mary’s GeoSpatial Services is playing an important role in State Water Trails Day Saturday, July 14. This event is intended to raise awareness of the 33 State Water Trails managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for canoeing, kayaking, boating and camping.

Attendees to the invite-only event are expected to include the DNR commissioner, several Minnesota Senators, local officials and community leaders, state advisors to the DNR Trails Road, a variety of media and possibly the governor.

The event will begin with a gathering and short presentation at the Prairie Island park pavilion, followed by a 2-4 mile canoe ride on the backwaters of the Mississippi River.

GSS will assist with hosting State Water Trails Day by providing mapping and volunteer assistance, and Saint Mary’s will be recognized for its role during the presentation.
