Welcome to Der Town

The Society for Wilderness Stewardship recently partnered with the Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute to direct and produce a 38-minute documentary film, entitled “The Wild Next Door: Between City Limits & Sacred Lands,” that explores the challenges and opportunities of managing urban proximate wilderness.

Our annual PVNT Ski-a-Thon raises funds for camps, ski gear, transportation and scholarships! Every dollar raised goes directly back into Plain Valley Nordic Team. The Ski-a-Thon is a skier-led fundraiser where participants roller-ski for one hour around a 1/4-mile track, raising money for program expenses and equipment through sponsors - who can make a flat donation or pledge an amount per lap to make the challenge even more fun! ### Schedule: 4:00-5:00PM - Devos Ski 5:00-6:00PM - SRT/ADT Ski Parents, friends, and PVST members: bring the cowbells and energy to cheer on the Ski-A-Thon participants! Potluck BBQ to follow - bring a side or dessert.

Last year we had such a fantastic turnout and we hope you can all join us again this Fall! We will be cleaning up around Ski Hill to help us prepare for the upcoming Winter. There will be a list of things to do at the Lodge, around the base area (trail cleanup, downed tree removal, weed eating, wood splitting, etc.) and on some trails. We will have FREE lunch for all volunteers thanks to the generous donations from Yodelin Broth Co. and Bosket Bread! Come for the whole day or join us for a few hours. Bring your family, bring a friend, bring your work gloves, and bring your stoke. Whatever time and energy you can contribute makes a real difference in getting the hill ready for the season ahead.

Learn the basics of AI, explore practical everyday uses, and build confidence using AI safely. Wondering what artificial intelligence (AI) actually is, how people are using it, or how to get started safely? This session is for you. Join NCW Tech Alliance and NCW Libraries for a friendly, beginner-level introduction to AI. In this one-hour session, you’ll learn what AI is, how tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot work, and how they can help with everyday tasks like understanding information, organizing ideas, planning, communication, brainstorming, and creating checklists. You’ll also practice asking AI for the help or information you need and learn simple ways to get more useful responses. We’ll also cover how to use AI safely and responsibly, including what information you should never share, when AI-generated information should be double-checked, and how to recognize common AI-enhanced scams. No technical or AI experience is required. Just bring your curiosity. Participants who complete the training receive a certificate. Optional: Bring your own device if you’d like to explore some of the tools during the session. This workshop is offered free to the community with support from Microsoft Elevate.
