Beating the Wintertime Blues<\/h2>\n

There’s no way around it. Winter in Bemidji can be very snowy and cold, but BSU students make the most of it by braving the elements and enjoying a variety of outdoor activities. Check out a few unique ways our students beat the wintertime blues in the Bemidji area.<\/p>\n

I like to track animals big game animals because it makes me feel connected with the wild. I want to pursue predator conservation as well as human-predator conflict so going out and learning about these animals helps keep that dream alive. You can do this at Lake Bemidji State Park<\/i><\/a> or any favorite outdoor spot where wildlife is present.<\/p>\n
