Outdoors host shares how to change story of our polluted waters
MANKATO – “Minnesota Bound” creator Ron Schara had a two-part message for anyone who cherishes the lakes and streams in our part of the state.“Our southern Minnesota story is a sad one for what we’ve done to the water,” he told his audience at a conference on lake health in the region.And yet, that story doesn’t need to end there, with an abundance of lakes no longer fit for fishing or swimming, Schara said.“We don’t have to take that,” he said.
