Thanks to everyone that stopped by our table at National Night Out this past Monday! We had a great time playing 'Health Dept Plinko' and chatting with community members about their health priorities.

✨Survey highlight of the night ✨ - Mental Health emerged as the most important health topic with the community members and families that participated. 💚

Thank you to the Franklin Police Department for hosting another great event!

Yesterday at Wehr Nature Center, we gathered to celebrate something far greater than a ribbon cutting (although that was pretty great, too!).

At our first annual ADA Anniversary Celebration, we were honored to welcome city officials, community members, advocates, and partners who share a vision of a world where everyone has the opportunity to experience the healing, joy, and wonder of nature.

Together, we celebrated the newest addition to our All Abilities Loop with a ribbon cutting that symbolizes so much more than a new section of trail. It represents progress, belonging, and our belief that the outdoors should be a place where every person can explore, connect, and experience the natural world.

This project, which began in 2002, reflects Wehr’s long-standing commitment to creating a welcoming place for people of all backgrounds and abilities. As we look forward to the completion of the All Abilities Loop trail, we are grateful to everyone who has helped bring this vision to life.

A special thank you to our Director, Carly Hintz, for advocating for progress and helping make this vision a reality, and to our Park Naturalist, Emily Brown, for her unwavering commitment to making adaptive programming a lasting part of Wehr.

We are also incredibly grateful to our amazing donors, past and present, whose generosity has made strides in accessibility possible; our dedicated volunteers who have spent countless hours building the boardwalk; the Friends of Wehr Board; and our former Director, Deb McRae, whose vision helped pave the way for this work.

Because of all of you—and the dedication of the entire Wehr staff—more people can discover the joy, peace, healing, and sense of belonging that nature offers.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this important milestone and to the many partners, supporters, advocates, donors, volunteers, and community members who continue to help turn this vision into reality. We can't wait to welcome you to the completed All Abilities Loop!

A statewide alert remains in effect through Thursday at noon with the likelihood it will be extended into the week. Smoke from wildfires in Minnesota and Canada is moving through many of our communities and while it can affect anyone, some people need to take extra care:
⏺ Higher risk groups:
• Children and older adults
• People with asthma, COPD, or heart disease
• Pregnant people
• Anyone who works or exercises outdoors
⏺ What you can do:
• Limit outdoor activity, especially strenuous exercise
• Keep windows closed and run your A/C or air purifier on recirculate
• If you must be outside, an N95/KN95 mask can help reduce exposure
• Watch for symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, or unusual fatigue
• Reach out to a doctor if you’re struggling to breathe
