Innocence
Lost
College is viewed by many as the identity forming years of
a person's life. It is four-odd years of care-free self-discovery
before you are finally forced into the real world. You prepare

college, but those experiences differ greatly when you think

are serving in the military have experienced. Interviews and
internships become less daunting when compared to assault
rifles and road-side bombs.

Combined, the 50 land trusts of Wisconsin have worked to protect more than 100,000 acres of our land; in fact, the West Wisconsin Land Trust alone has worked to protect more than 10,000 acres of land throughout the state.
