GLIN SITE OF THE MONTH for February
Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources web site contains more
than 10,000 pages of information about Minnesota's natural resources
and
MN DNR programs, publications and activities. The most popular pages
on
the site are the "Lake Finder" and the "Recreation Compass," which
feature an interactive map interface for accessing Lake Survey reports,
lake maps, state parks and other recreation information. Also popular
is
a new section on the site called "Current Conditions," which features
weather information for more than 90 locations in Minnesota, snow depth
reports and weekly updates on snowmobile and ski trail conditions.

A complete list and brief descriptions of all GLIN email lists are
now
available at http://www.great-lakes.net/lists/listlist.html
If you're interested in creating a new Great Lakes email listserv,
send
requests to manninen@glc.org
Some general guidelines: 1) The list must be for the regional good
(i.e., it must
involve parties from the Great Lakes states and/or benefit the region
as a whole);
and 2) A critical amount of people should be involved to make it worthwhile
to create a list (20-30 people is the minimum).

A permanent link has been added to the Great
Lakes Radio Consortium
archives under "Hot Topics"
on each GLIN page. The GLRC is an
environmental news feed, produced by radio producers from around the
Great
Lakes, that is inserted into the news programming of local stations.
GLRC
stories are carried by more than 100 stations in nine states, Ontario,
and
several nationally syndicated shows.
