The 2017 Annual Meeting featuring a talk by Dr. Jim Feldman, author of A Storied Wilderness: Rewilding the Apostle Islands, drew an overflow crowd. In order to ensure that individuals who couldn't sit in the auditorium could still enjoy our president Fred Koerschner's presentation, and Dr. Feldman's talk, we were able to live-stream the evening's events. The live-stream video was subsequently uploaded to YouTube, so here are both presentations!
