canoecopia Presentation  (Possibly rescheduled for a future online Webinar)

2/27/2020

Vern Fish will talk about the Greenmantle River, a Wabakimi gem. ​
1:30 p.m. on Saturday, in the Killarney Room.

This will be a one hour presentation at Canoecopia, which is March 13-15 . This wild little river may lack girth and length but it is long on adventure and isolation. Hidden in the far northwest corner of Wabakimi Provincial Park, the Greenmantle River provides access to a huge swath of protected wilderness. The reward is an opportunity to explore a remote boreal forest and possibly catch an elusive brook trout

Have you been thinking of taking a wilderness trip alone or with others and haven’t done so yet? In this presentation, Mary will take you on her personal journey of completing a 6-night solo in the Boundary Waters by taking one step at a time and planning for success. By setting small goals to achieve each trip and identifying and resolving apprehensions along the way, she upped her game a little at a time
