"Love the building design with all the sustainable features! A great way to educate and inform the public on the natural beauty of floodplain and upland prairie habitats!"
"I did a summer internship with this organization back in summer of 2021. Great faculty but the staff here is horrible. I worked remotely and there was hardly any communication. At one point they requested a power point presentation from me two work days before it was due. Our last check wasn’t even cut until a month after the internship ended. I had questions about taxes and the person I dealt with had zero idea what they were talking about. When I pressed further she stopped emailing me."
"It has a very nice and neat place to work at for 10 years"
"It was cold but would have liked to walk in the trail. Enjoyed the views."
