Also a HUGE THANK YOU to our volunteers! Without the help of our volunteers, events like this would not be possible! Staff from Lapeer CD, Tuscola CD, Oakland Conservation District & Blue Water Conservation District - Sanilac and St Clair Counties, along with the resource professionals that took the time out of their day to come and teach the teams, we could not have done it without you! Thank you to Fish Lake Enviromental Education Center for continuing to host us!
