Welcome interns Iain and Cassandra!

FMR would like to extend a warm welcome to our two summer Education and Restoration Interns Iain Wilson and Cassandra Moe! Iain comes to FMR with a wealth of skills in program creation and outreach — last year he single-handedly planned and created a youth-based community bike shop at a Minneapolis middle school. Cassandra is a biology teacher at Dakota County Technical College and is beginning a sabbatical to study how more service-learners can be involved in prairie restorations. Were lucky to have their help! Please be sure to say hello to them at one of our summer restoration or education events.
