Manitowish Waters event draws ‘inter-generational’ interest
Despite reports that wild rice harvest is down this year, interest in the Northwoods crop remains high, as seen by the crowd attending a four-day wild rice camp in Manitowish Waters on Labor Day weekend. The event, held at the North Lakeland Discovery Center, was funded by a federal America the Beautiful Challenge grant issued to the University of Wisconsin-Madison Trout Lake Research Station, which co-hosted the event.
