If you glance back over prior blog posts, you’ll find a number which feature photos by Rae Henneman. As a student member of the Friends of Schmeeckle Reserve board, Rae has brought energy, great ideas, and other students to the work we do. Her artwork and photos lurk around the Visitor Center, and the materials published by the Friends of Schmeeckle Reserve have several times featured a Rae Henneman photo. Rae is moving towards her senior year as a wildlife major here at UWSP. Her love for her subject sings out of the images she shares with us.
