It’s a calm sunny morning on what promises to be a beautiful day to be collecting stream data in Polk County, Wisconsin.  Although a truck full of equipment is necessary to complete the work, having four extra hands makes the trek from the truck to the sample sites manageable. Polk County Land and Water staff Katelin Anderson and Colton Sorensen are fortunate to be accompanied by summer interns Trent Kuechenmeister and Hayley Heller who are active participants in data collection.

When I was asked to write this month’s blog, I wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go with it. As I was wracking my brain, I kept coming back to a saying from my childhood summer camp, one I returned to as a counselor this past summer. “Peace on the waterways.”
