 On
Saturday, March 2, Dr. Ryan Perroy and
students, Janelle Nelson and
Peggy Obear represented the UW-L Geography &
Earth Science Department at the brand new
Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish
Refuge Center on Brice Prairie for the Annual Aldo
Leopold Day celebration. More than 100 people attended
the event.
Our river table was a big hit with the kids. The table
simulates stream and river flow activity, showing
students how water interacts and sculpts the landscape
with everything from a trickle to a flash flooding event
capable of being re-created. |
