KESHENA - As part of a continuing celebration of Earth Day and Arbor Day, the Menominee Nation is giving away thousands of trees to school communities across Wisconsin to help reforest parts of the state.
Earth Day started in Wisconsin more than 50 years ago under former Gov. Gaylord Nelson, and Menominee officials are looking to lead in the cause of revitalizing Mother Earth for the next 50 years.
“As we enter into the next 50 years, it was our passion as a tribe that we would enter the next 50 years a whole different way,” said Nels Huse, marketing specialist with Menominee Tribal Enterprises.

OCONTO, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A former Oconto Falls substitute teacher and volleyball coach was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison for sexually assaulting a student.
Brynn Larsen, 31, previously pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of third-degree sexual assault. Three other counts were dismissed.
Larsen was also placed on extended supervision for five years by Judge Michael Judge. Larsen will have to register as a sex offender after her release, court records show.
According to the criminal complaint, Larsen was a substitute teacher and a volleyball coach at Oconto Falls High School. She allegedly engaged in an on-going sexual relationship with a student. There was an investigation then, but no charges were filed. In 2020, the victim came forward to confirm the two indeed had a sexual relationship, and charges were filed.
