Past Events & Workshops
Shallow Footprints Fair
A community event to teach how you can help leave "shallow footprints" on our planet with activities, prizes, and exhibits for the whole family with the Izaak Walton League of America, the National Wildlife Federation, nature photographer Ron Bolduan and more.
Putting Green's Entrepreneur Program
Putting Green was designed to be a youth driven business. In 2001, students helped to develop Putting Green's business plan. Beginning in January of this year, Putting Green began a unique collaboration with South Central Technical College to hold a 12 week course entitled "The Business of Putting Green: A Course for Entrepreneurs." The course brings together high school students and local business owners to learn what it takes to be a small business owner, using Putting Green as a case study. Many of the students will form an "owner team" that will manage and operate the park.
"eNoUgH Said"
Putting Green is collaborating with New Ulm High School and the New Ulm Journal on an extra-curricular student newspaper with an environmental focus. The March 2005 issue explores recycling here and in Germany. November 2005 issue is on its way. Made possible with funding from the Newspaper Association of America Foundation and the New Ulm Journal.
