The fall of 2012 was a time that I will never forget. Thinking about it makes me nostalgic. I met many new friends and fell in love with a new neck of the woods. Conserve School is where it all occurred. Conserve is a semester boarding school in the north woods of Wisconsin and has an emphasis on the outdoors and environmental studies. With the help of the Lowenstine Academic Full-Ride Scholarship, I was able to gain many great experiences there including after school activities, weekend adventures, and two longer wilderness experiences.
One weekend, the environmental science instructor along with five others including me set out to collect data on one of the lakes in Sylvania. Sylvania is a wilderness area that's adjacent to the Conserve Campus. We measured water depth at around the lake and marked our points on GPS.
