Living Lightly Booklet Update

We are pleased to release the 2024 version of our Living Lightly Booklet. It is loaded with beautiful photos of Mallard Island buildings, is chock full of historical information, and provides ways to get involved and in touch with the Oberholtzer Foundation.

The updates include new photos of buildings and many of the photos are in color, which adds vibrancy to the pages. We also added a new section on volunteering, and we changed the name of the Library back to the Boat House. This change was the result of the 2022 flood. We had to remove over three thousand books from the Library to save them from the flood waters, but this lead to the creation of the Mallard Island Annex Library in International Falls. It also allowed us to return this historic building back to a Boat House.
