Upham Woods- Remote Conservation: Invasive Species Pull Join Upham Woods for a Zoom on invasive species -- the villains of the plant world! The session is offered on August 4, 5, 6, and 7 at 3:30 pm. Pick whichever time works best for you and register here: https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1KVJKC4bfz08pbT.
Can’t make any of those times? Learn about the villains on your own: garlic mustard (video and handout), crown vetch (video and handout, and bird’s foot trefoil (video and handout). Then attack the villains (pull them out of your yard). Finally, celebrate your victory: log your hours here. Logging hours will help Upham Woods hit their goal and if you log 10 hours this summer, they will send you an Upham Woods camp t-shirt!

Chatting with Chattanooga
At the first meeting, the youth, as a group, decided what they wanted the focus of the exchange to be. They came to a consensus to take turns presenting something about their state. At the next two Zooms, youth shared information about famous people and animals, places to visit, and interesting facts about their states. The youth also took turns planning and leading icebreakers for the opening and closing of each meeting.
Youth shared information in a variety of ways. Some youth-created formal presentations. One youth introduced us to her beef cattle through her cell phone and one youth even made a five-minute video about Wisconsin! Youth from Tennessee shared about famous people and Ruby Falls, a series of underground waterfalls, in TN. Youth finished the final exchange with sharing about 4-H projects or experiences they take part in. The youth discovered many differences and similarities amongst the programs.
