A few months ago, Henry Wiedmeyer, passed away in a traffic accident at the age of 26. Henry was a Prairie Partners Intern with us in 2018, where he learned about land management practices and gained hands-on work experience.
His family shared with us this story about Henry. In 2013, Henry had a long discussion with a friend, and she asked how he would define happiness. Henrys response was “nature and authentic human connections made there”. Last summer he reunited with the same friend and she asked if he still held the same belief about happiness. His response, “Absolutely!”
Henry’s family has chosen to honor his memory and passion for conservation by fundraising for Groundswell and our Outdoor Volunteering program. We are grateful for the Wiedmeyer Family’s support.
Thank you to Henry’s cousin, Nathan Marzion, for sharing with his followers.
