Big Woods ’19 with Katie Foshay

Nerstrand Big Woods State park is a wonderful gem, just a few miles southeast of Northfield.  The park is made up of dense hardwood, with a beautiful stream running through it and a lovely waterfall not far from the visitor center.  Listen in as Andy and Dave interview the new Nerstrand Big Woods State Park Manager, Katie Foshay.  Katie will share with us her background, her excitement of becoming the Park Manager and some of the issues the Nerstrand Big Woods State Park is facing due to climate change.
