In addition to the local news, WXPR Public Radio also likes to find stories that are outside the general news cycle... Listen below to stories about history, people, culture, art, and the environment in the Northwoods that go a little deeper than a traditional news story allows us to do. Here are all of the series we include in this podcast: Curious North, We Live Up Here, A Northwoods Moment in History, Field Notes, and Wildlife Matters.These features are also available as a podcast by searching "WXPR Local Features" wherever you get your podcasts.

Kids With Autism Pair With Horses For Therapy

A Northwoods woman mentors  kids on the autism spectrum through a horse riding program. Miranda Vander Leest has that story…

Lenelle Scholl works with kids of all ages and abilities and kids at risk. Her riding program isn’t active during the winter months, but Lenelle and her team of 22 volunteers travel around the Northwoods as program advocates.

Lenelle is kicking off a campaign next month to raise money for a new barn and arena.

Visit her website for more information.
