Welcomes the Summer Interns . . .

Brooke Webb Morgan Schlader

Hi, my name is Brooke Webb. I am from Manly, Iowa and a 2009 graduate of Central Springs High School.

I’m currently a senior at Iowa State University majoring in Animal Science with a Wildlife, Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences option. My hobbies include hunting, fishing, gardening and watching sports.

My future goals are to get a job at a County Conservation Board or in the Fisheries field.

I’m Morgan Schlader, my parents are Brent and Christine and an older brother Tylor. I grew up on a farm north of Charles City.

I graduated from Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo with a Natural Resource Management AAS degree. In the fall I start Upper Iowa University in Fayette with a major of Conservation Management.

After I finish my education I see myself in Iowa working for a county conservation or for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Give a gift that contains memories that

will last a lifetime. . .
