Students in grades 5-12 had the opportunity to hear from Mr. Hank Kohler, author of One4Water: Paddling North to Polar Bears and South to Alligators. Hank shared stories from his incredible 1,900-mile canoe trip from East Leaf Lake to the Gulf of Mexico—a journey that raised thousands of dollars for conservation efforts. Forty-two years earlier, Hank had embarked on a similar adventure, paddling from East Leaf Lake to Hudson Bay.
The event featured a slideshow of Hank's photographs, which brought his stories to life. There was also a chance for students to ask Hank questions about his travels and purchase signed copies of his book.
It was a unique opportunity to hear from this super inspiring adventurer!
