GeoStory- we made it!
Congratulations to Elizabeth Braatz of Appleton North HS and her
advisor, Jamie Sadogierski!
Our
program received some national attention through National
Geographic!
The GeoStory features a photo of Elizabeth presenting
research findings at the Lower Fox River Watershed Symposium on
the UW-Green Bay campus last year. Elizabeth’s story and thoughts
are inspiring and she is a great ambassador for the program! See
the link below and have a great tour of what is happening out
there (when you enter the website: click on “start GeoStory” and
then click on her picture -she is wearing a purple t-shirt):
