Coordinator Mike Swenson gave a hands-on presentation on the topic of wind generators. Students were asked to build their own miniature wind turbines; In the last station, students helped Naturalists Clay Steele and Alisha Flemming to chip the hiking trails, prune unwanted species and pick up trash.
