Did you know the average American child spends only 4-7 mins playing outside/day but 7+hrs in front of screens? Let's change that! Spending time in state parks can improve mental health.🌲🧠 Disconnect from tech, reconnect with nature. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #ScreenFreeWeek

Today, August 31, is Bald Eagle Recovery Day in Minnesota.
And the #ChippewaNF has a great story to share...
On a warm summer day in July the USFS office in Deer River received a phone call about an injured eagle on the district. Read full story: go.usa.gov/xMqFR

The benefits of having this resource and USING it is not lost on me as a parent. Thank you teachers for instilling in our kids the importance of forests. #GoTigers
"The school forest is a safe and great resource for many different types of lifelong learning activities. We are so lucky to have it in our backyard!"

Oh yes!! Proud of this kiddo and the good "stuff" he shares with us at home about school! Keep being great Adam.....#GoTigers
Adam’s teacher nominated him for our #GoodNewsCallOfTheDay. He has been very helpful with the technology in the classroom. Others go to him for help & he is always willing. His teacher appreciates him so much. #PRBTigers #GoTigers

Learn why it's a good thing that ..."Many locations in northern Minnesota dipped to 30 degrees below zero."
The temperature hit -43F in Cotton, Minnesota this morning. That is the coldest in the contiguous U.S.
Why is that a good thing for Minnesota's trees?
