Fishers are rarely, if ever, seen by hikers walking through the woods. The public generally knows very little about these shy creatures. Dr. Michael Joyce, Wildlife Ecologist at the Natural Resources Research Institute in Duluth, shared information on the long-term research being done at the Institute on Fishers.

2025 Annual Membership Meeting on August 17th
Join us at Beaver Hollow on Sunday, August 17 at 12 noon, for the Friends’ Annual Membership meeting. A brief but informative annual meeting will be held, followed by a cookout. Brats, burgers, and a meat-free alternative will be served along with soft drinks and craft beer. Members are encouraged to attend and help guide the Friends’ work to protect the wetlands and forests of North Pikes Creek, and to make recommendations for 2026 activities and speakers.
If you are not a member, or your membership has lapsed, you may join the Friends’ organization at the Annual Meeting. Please register to let us know that you will be attending the cookout.
