What an amazing day we had with Katie Urban, Park Interpreter with the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Through games and discussion, students learned how they can help protect the water of the Great Lakes. Younger students also joined in on a "porcupine hike". We can't say enough about her fantastic presentations!
