People passing through historic Fishtown this summer may see a familiar and friendly face once frequent around Leland.

Leelanau County native Emma Nelson is serving as Fishtown Preservation Society’s (FPS) summer intern this year, and she could not be more happy to be back home for the season.

Nelson is a 2023 Leland Public School graduate, and is currently going into her senior year at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor majoring in earth sciences and conservation biology. She comes to the FPS internship following a semester of study abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, another goal that Nelson always wanted to complete since she was a child.
