EAGLE RIVER - Fourth and fifth graders from St. Mary's School in Tomahawk spent time outdoors learning about nature. The experience was part of a two-day program held at Trees For Tomorrow in Eagle River. The students learned about identifying trees, cross-country skiing, and logging history in northern Wisconsin.
"We actually stay really busy in the wintertime," said Trees For Tomorrow Lead Educator Laura Lorenz. "Winter is one of our busier times of the year, with school groups coming up for opportunities to snowshoe and ski and just to get the overall winter experience. We have schools that even come from as far as Chicago and Minnesota as well as Michigan and Wisconsin."
The learning center can house up to 100 students at any given time. The educators offer programs as long as three days year-round for a variety of ages. The education center leaders plan to change they way the educate students in the coming months.
