What does a career in natural resources look like?
This month, a group of 4-H youth joined us at Martell Forest to find out! From tree climbing and birding to creating scent traps and dissecting owl pellets, participants spent three days exploring the many ways people work with and protect our natural resources.
Thanks to everyone who joined us! We can’t wait to see where your adventures take you next!
What does it mean to be Great Lakes literate?
It’s understanding how the Great Lakes shape your life and how your choices impact the lakes.
