Earth Day, Easter, and the NFL Draft are on our minds for NEWisco Weekend this week.

The Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance has an Earth Day event in conjunction with NFL Green.

We have features on the Packers doing more for the environment, The NFL Draft, Recycling, and egg prices and alternatives to coloring easter eggs. Spring is here and with it comes danger and more. Nettle Hill is the musical guest.
