Birds, Birding and Aghaming Park and Reserve with Richie Swanson

Living in a river town like Winona means plenty of opportunities for enjoying the outdoors and viewing a variety of wildlife. Whether you like to hike the local trails, kayak the backwaters of the Mississippi, or enjoy some time in Levee park, Winona has something to offer for everyone. But living on the river next to such natural beauty also means that we must be good stewards and take care of the natural resources around us. The city of Winona has an agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service to do just that in an area called Aghaming Park and Reserve. Aghaming is enjoyed by many for fishing, kayaking or canoeing and it is especially good for birding. Today we hear from Richie Swanson, president of the Winona Bird Club about Aghaming Park and Reserve and the agreement between the city and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service. I’m Bill Stoneberg with president of the Winona Bird Club Richie Swanson, on Culture Clique. Original air date: 08/29/19. Culture Clique is written and produced by KQAL on the campus of Winona State University and is made possible by a grant from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
