A fond farewell to Ellen Fuge

FMR would like to thank botanist and ecologist Ellen Fuge for all that she contributed during her brief yet busy time at FMR. Ellen joined FMRs merry band of pranksters in July 2009, bringing her wealth of expertise and experience to the land conservation program. While at FMR, she developed natural resource management plans for several projects and conducted conservation easement site visits in Dakota County.

Thank you, Ellen. Your camaraderie, knowledge and subtle sense of humor will be greatly missed. The Mississippi River and FMR are better because of your time here.
