Art Gallery and Open Hiking
Presented by Belwin Conservancy at Belwin Conservancy Savanna Center Afton, MN
Art Gallery Exhibition This fall, Belwin is hosting a gallery exhibition, Worlds Within Worlds, featuring the work of painter Suyao Tian. In this exhibition, Suyao Tian will presents a series of abstract, water-based paintings that respond to the natural rhythms and quiet presence of Belwin. Worlds Within Worlds is ultimately about connection — between visible and invisible realities, between humans and nonhuman life, between imagination and memory, and between the intimate and the infinite. Every system, being, memory, landscape, or form contains another hidden world inside it — layered, interconnected, and continuously unfolding. Suyao Tian’s artistic language is deeply shaped by her childhood experiences growing up as a single child during China’s one-child policy in the 1980s. “Cultural expectations and a highly competitive, exam-oriented education system emphasized memorization over critical thinking and imagination, affecting both school and family life for an entire generation. For me, the absence of siblings, the inability to have pets, and limited social interaction led to isolation and a lack of confidence. Nature became my primary source of communication and emotional expression. As a child, I spent time collecting small insects, placing them in jars, talking to them, and playing with them—they became my earliest listeners.” This exhibition will be on view at Belwin's Savanna Center at 795 Indian Trail S. Afton, MN 55001 from September 10 to October 4. Gallery Hours Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, 12 PM – 4 PM Artist Reception September 20, 5 PM – 7 PM Artist Talk Sunday, September 27, 3 PM – 4 PM…

Come out and enjoy a beautiful autumn afternoon at the SMINC! As we come to the end of our fiscal year, we're putting on one more fundraiser for the center. We'll have food, games and crafts for the kids, and music by local musician Colton Warren. Come out, enjoy the hiking and biking trails, have some food and drink and listen to some fantastic tunes out on our patio! Pizza by Lake Elmo's Stable Pizzeria, and sundaes served by our volunteers. Suggested donation for admission is $5 per person, payable at the event. All profits from ticket and food sales benefit the nature center. We will also be welcoming our friends from Public Lands, who will have bike techs on hand to give advice to novice riders who are considering gearing up for the Sunfish trails. Colton Warren is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the Twin Cities area who embraces a variety of musical styles. In the vein of Jack Johnson and The Lumineers, Colton uses his six string guitar and rich baritone voice to create music that sounds like waves, whiskey and wanderlust. Colton also integrates his 12 string guitar into live sets, building an atmospheric sound that is both soothing and vibrant. Whatever the instrument, his songs are crafted to inspire listeners in their own creativity.

Guided River Paddle: Ecology and Eternity
Presented by St. Croix 360 at Paddlefish Adventures Saint Croix Falls, WI
The complex web of life found along the St. Croix has been evolving since the last glaciers left the area about 12,000 years ago. Learn about the forces that created forest and prairie, savanna and wetland, and the unique plants and animals that support diverse wildlife, and how they are still at work. The type of habitat and wildlife found in the region at the beginning of European settlement, how it arrived at that point, and how it continues to shift. (Take home a booklet with Greg’s wildlife photos.) “Layers of St. Croix History” trips will offer a relaxing paddle down the river as Greg Seitz shares stories about unique aspects of the river’s past. These seven-mile trips will take you past geologic features, natural wonders, and important places for human history. While each trip will highlight a specific historic theme, we will also look for birds, fish, mussels, flowers, and other wildlife that are part of the river’s past, present, and future. Questions?
