On Friday, April 5th., a group of students from Mauston High School helped ODF out with a work day at our Nelson property, located on Hwy 12 & 16 just north of town. The goal was to teach them about invasive plant species and how to help eradicate and or control them. We appreciate their help and hope it was a meaningful learning experience for the group.
