This year I completed the Juneau County Advanced Leadership program, meeting a diverse array of professionals and learning about the many resources available to support communities in Juneau county! @UWMadisonExtNRI

Just in time for #CitizenScienceSaturday! It was a great day learning about coastal prairie ecosystem restoration at the University of Houston Coastal Center, including removing the invasive Chinese tallow, Sapium sebiferum linktr.ee/uhcoastalcenter

I am so excited to be working on this project with a great team from @uwgenetics, @UWMadisonExtNRI Water Action Volunteers, @UWMadisonExt 4-H program, and the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center/USGS!

What an amazing @waee40 fall conference at @uphamwoods1941! These gorgeous shots of the Wisconsin river are from the 50th anniversary reunion paddle last week. The river was like a glass mirror - just magical! #WAEE50 #waee2024 #WIEnviroEd

I am delighted to have completed the Ho Chunk Wisconsin Master Naturalist Program along with three of my colleagues from the @UWMadisonExtNRI, and look forward to continuing to volunteer with the Ho Chunk Nation DNR! #WisconsinMasterNaturalist

😊 I don't cry often, but I was *almost* moved to tears by a former Baraboo High School student's letter recommending me for an "Influential Educator Award" for inspiring her to begin the journey to become a classroom teacher. ☺️

The @theraptorcenter workshop included the basics of first aid care like wrapping injured feet, clipping talons, "coping" (trimming overgrowth on beaks), and separating talons (we practiced on study mounts). What a great experience! #raptorambassadors

I was thrilled to participate in the Care & Management of Captive Raptors workshop put on by @theraptorcenter! I handled a kestrel, owl, red tailed hawk, and bald eagle, plus learned multiple new training techniques. It was a fantastic experience! #raptorambassadors

Please pass on this opportunity at Upham Woods planned by Hard of Hearing youth for those interested in teaching and learning about communicating through American Sign Language (ASL)!
