Will’s interview with Oden continues with a story about the origins of the Environmental Learning Center (ELC). The ELC in Isabella, predecessor to Wolf Ridge ELC in Finland, was built on the site of a former Job Corps camp and was the first environmental learning center in northern Minnesota. Every year many students look forward to visiting the Wolf Ridge ELC. Students and adults can experience the outdoors, explore the woods, kayak, hike, see the animals and more.
Founded in 1971, Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center was the first environmental learning center in the nation to be accredited as a K-12 school and is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in environmental education.

From the Lake County News Chronicle:
Two organizations have come together to preserve a local treasure – the memories of our elder neighbors. Age to Age, an initiative to bring youth and seniors together for mutual learning experiences, is teaming with Two Harbors Community Radio to gather news stories. The plan is to broadcast the digitally recorded memoirs in the form of podcasts when the radio’s website goes live.
Last week, Michelle Miller and Jackie Rennwald from the radio’s board of directors led a workshop to help students – Malachi Schubert, Will Peterson, Henry Rennwald and Dale Peterson – develop their skills as documentarians before meeting with their elder partners. Jackie Rennwald has worked in radio for a number of years and agreed to guide the process.
“The workshop covered such content as preparing for an interview, good techniques, improving speaking habits and ways of delivering questions to get the best response,” Rennwald said.
The four boys were among several students selected to participate in the project and a number of adults have also approached the board about doing interview with subjects of their choosing. Rennwald said she is planning to offer additional workshops in the summer and fall for other would-be broadcast journalists.
