Not only were children a part of all the fun at the nature center. Children ages two through five learned how important and fascinating nature truly is. Some programs included fun arts & crafts, games, and nature walks. Working with a supportive group of staff and volunteers, Maddie went behind the scenes of implementing engaging field trip programs to influence children to experience nature firsthand. Located in Bristol, Wisconsin, Pringle Nature Center was founded in 1998 and has welcomed children, families, and adults of all ages to learn the importance of the environment and the distinct species that live within the area. "I've always wanted to work at a nature center my whole life"Įducating the community's youth on the various ecosystems in Southern Wisconsin, Maddie spent her summer guiding children through the grounds of Pringle Nature Center as a Naturalist Educator Intern. This summer internship was a perfect match for Maddie to gain beneficial experience first-hand. Maddie is a Junior with a major in Environmental Studies, with a minor in Biology. As she move to Kenosha, Wisconsin after transferring from the College of Lake County, Maddie was informed by an instructor for the internship opportunity at the Pringle Nature Center. Growing up close to a nature center in Fox Valley, Illinois, Maddie had always kept the idea of volunteering at a nature center in the back of her head. This internship allowed Maddie to share with others the fun of wildlife.
