Thank you, Nicole, for such a beautiful mount of this Northern Saw-whet owl! It will be used for environmental education and will be displayed in our future nature center. We appreciate your outstanding talent in preserving these protected species.

Salvaged! Just a reminder owls are MBTA protected and this one is mounted with special permits for Greenwood Foundation. Nicole Griewahn

Congratulations to the thirteen Huron Pines team members on completing the Wilderness First Aid course at Greenwood Foundation!

Thirteen members of our team completed a Wilderness First Aid course last month, learning skills that will help them deal with medical emergencies while in the field.

Led by Great Lakes Wilderness Emergency Response Training, the two-day course covered wound care, splinting techniques for broken bones, how to identify and treat heat stroke, and even how to build a stretcher from clothing and tree limbs. Many of our staff routinely work in remote areas -- and all are active outdoorspeople -- so having these skills is highly useful in an emergency.

Joining us were our colleagues from Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy and Anne Gilpatrick, a nurse and mom of Senior Restoration Technician Molly Gilpatrick. Special thanks to instructor Steve Huisman and to Greenwood Foundation in Wolverine for hosting our class.
