Continuing Education: The LandSeptember 9, 2008 at 7–8 p.m.

The Land - Jim Welsh, Robert Moline, Cindy Johnson-Groh. This session will develop an appreciation of the present day cultural landscape in south central Minnesota, the landscapes shaped by the people who live here. We will look at some aspects of the physical environment, the setting of the settlement -- the geological history (with geologist Jim Welsh) and the vegetative changes that have occurred (with botanist Cindy Johnson-Groh). Finally we'll outline the changes of land use here (with geographer Bob Moline). Please join us for these three brief virtual field trips into the physical and cultural history of the St. Peter region.
