In 2021, Hank Kohler paddled approximately 1900 miles from west central Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Partnering with the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque, and through the generous donations from people who followed his journey, Hank helped raised tens of thousands of dollars for their youth conservation education programs. Next Thursday, Hank will share tales of his journey—from polar bears to alligators—the mission of One4Water.
