Empowering Pathways Into Conservation (EPIC) is a program designed to connect young people interested in conservation careers with natural resource professionals at the DNR and similar organizations. Through field experiences, hands-on training, career panels, and more, EPIC participants have a chance to see the variety and excitement of careers available within the natural resources field. This program runs during the summer months in partnership with the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board and the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization Green Team.
