Welcome
Kyle!
Hello! My name is Kyle Dahlquist. I am serving as a Clean Water Corpsmember at the Pennington SWCD through Conservation Corps Minnesota & Iowa. I grew up in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, and studied Field Biology at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. Ever since I was a kid, I have held a deep fascination and appreciation for the natural world and the creatures that inhabit it. In my spare time, you'll usually find me outdoors hiking, cycling, playing with my dog, or swimming at my cabin in northern Wisconsin. I look forward to learning all I can about protecting and maintaining critical aquatic resources at the SWCD this fall. Kyle will be working with the Pennington staff through December.
Congratulation to the
