Losing Home

This isn’t the home we’ve known.

• We’ve endured hotter summers and wildfire smoke.
• Winter brings less snow and more rain.
• Winter lake ice is more precarious to walk, fish and snowmobile on.
• Toxic algae blooms foul our lakes.

This is the story of losing what we love about our home and what we can do about it, individually and collectively.

Now is the time to act to save our home!
