Namekagon Barrens Sharp Tailed Grouse Viewing
Students from NorthStar got out of bed early to watch Sharp Tailed Grouse on the Namekagon Barrens. We left school at 5:00 am but most of the students said it was worth it. The blinds are supplied by the Friends of the Namekagon Barrens and can be reserved on line.
Amnicon Falls State Park
As part of our geology studies we visited Amnicon Falls and viewed the Douglas Fault and the falls.

Visit to the UMD Planetarium and The Bong Veterans Museum
On December 12, the students from NorthStar spent some time at the planetarium at UMD. We learned about Black holes and the solar system.

Later in the day we stopped by the Bong Veterans Museum. We had an excellent class by 3 local veterans on the Vietnam War which was followed by a tour of the museum.
NorthStar Students Create A CC Ski Trail
Students have mapped out the trail and are starting to clear the way. It will be a lot of work but it will be well worth it. The new trail won’t cross any roads so it will be much safer.
