Group effort

Congressman Rick Nolan, at right, plants a tree along the Rat Root River this morning, as Duane Sjoblom stands above him. International Falls Mayor Bob Anderson and Conservation Corps workers assist. The effort is a part of the second year of a restoration effort by a partnership involving the National Parks Association, Rainy Lake Sportfishing Cllub, and the Nature Valley Preserve the Parks program, intended to benefit Voyageurs National Park.
