Museum Welcomes New Naturalist

The Cable Natural History Museum welcomes Cully Shelton to its staff as Museum Naturalist.

Cully is a familiar face around the Museum, having worked as an environmental education intern here in the summer of 2003 and again in the spring of 2005. A Madison, Wis., native, he graduated last spring from Northland College in Ashland, Wis., with a degree in outdoor education and a minor in environmental education.

Through the last several years, Cully has developed and exhibited significant leadership skills. He received a Leadership and Service Scholarship to attend Northland College, and while a student there served as a student senator and a student trustee, and was chosen to deliver the Honor’s Day Senior Address. At Northland he also worked as an Adventure Program Leader and Trip Leader, planning and leading outdoor and educational trips for other Northland students.

In addition to his environmental education internships at the Cable Natural History Museum, Cully also worked an internship as an historical interpreter at the Living History Farms of Des Moines, Iowa, and as a camp counselor at various camps in Wisconsin.
