About

Maddi Nistler is a member of the Minnesota GreenCorps program serving her second term as Community Outreach and Readiness personnel at the National Loon Center in Crosslake, MN. Her lifelong love for the outdoors and the inner workings of the natural world has led her to become an MN Master Naturalist and advocate for Common Loons. Since moving here from Colorado in 2019, Maddi has continued to share her passion for wildlife with others through the Loon Center and beyond. She can often be found off the grid with a fishing rod or talking to trees and local squirrels.

We’re all a little loony for Minnesota’s state bird! Whether you only know Common Loons by their iconic calls or you are a long-time loon watcher, these charismatic birds will never stop surprising you. We will dive into the physical and behavioral characteristics that make Common Loons unique, the intricate freshwater ecosystems loons call home, and the best practices you can adopt to better protect loons from the environmental conflicts they face today.

All presentations are family-friendly and free to the public.
Donations are always appreciated. Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail National Scenic Byway!
