The Big Ten Rowing Championships are coming to Indianapolis May 16–17, bringing some of the top collegiate rowing programs in the country to compete right here in Indiana.

If you’ve never seen rowing at this level, it’s worth the trip. The speed, the precision, the teamwork, it’s a completely different experience in person.

For our athletes and anyone in the community who’s curious about the sport, this is a great opportunity to see what rowing can look like at the next level.

Migration is peaking, and we will witness close to 400 million birds flying through tonight!

It is imperative that we take a few simple steps so that our winged friends can reach their breeding grounds safely:

• Treat glass with Feather Friendly visual markers or Bird Divert Clear UV markers
• Keep lights out at night.
