UW-Madison wants to give away a 16-foot canoe to a nonprofit group. The catch is the recipient has to pick it up ? in New Orleans. The canoe is up for grabs because it?s outlived its usefulness in a UW-Madison wetland research program in the Big Easy. “We seem to get a lot of interesting scenarios like this one,” said Matthew Thies, of the university?s Surplus With a Purpose, the program that redistributes and sells surplus equipment.
