Holly Kuhn Enjoyed the Summit So Much She Came Back and Brought a Friend

Holly Kuhn and Savannah Herrera Holly Kuhn was one of eight returning campers to Redesigning the Future 2015. You know campers had a good time when they opt to return for another second (or even third) year. Holly said she loved the camp and her Focus Group "A Backbone for Conservation" so much that she talked her friend, Savannah Herrera, into signing up for camp and joining her this year. Holly said she enjoyed Dr. Joe Poston's section so much that she wanted to take it again and share it with her buddy. Both young ladies were having a great time this session, and Holly said she'd enjoy coming back a third year. We think Holly would make a great National Environmental Summit counselor one of these days. She certainly has a passion for the Center for the Environment summer summit.

Taking Videos in the Preserve - Oh The Things That You Will See

Students in Dr. Joe Poston's group got a very unique view of nature by using an outdoor video camera. You never know what's out there when no one is watching. Is this thing working? Yes it is, and the group was caught on nature candid camera. This little deer looks like she may suspect something. Maybe she has that second sense just as people do - "Hum. I have this feeling that I'm being watched." It's a little harder to make out the night animals, but this is a raccoon. He's enjoying a stroll through the forest and likely thinking about finding something good to eat . Of course, you always catch some tame critters on camera.
