Interns making hard work fun

The other day we spotted the Prairie Interns at the end of their work day, all happy about a day's hard work in the sun. Adam Gundlach of the Preserve staff, who coordinates their work, had stayed behind to finish the job. When we caught up with him and ask him for his secret to keep the crew so cheerful, he remarked, " Oh, today we pretended to be ahead of elk foraging for juicy saplings in the grasses of the old field." Now all this saplings and out-of-place underbrush are gone and the old field looks like a field again, whirring with dragonflies and other critters. Thanks, Adam! Photo Gisela Kutzbach
