Join Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) and Trees For Tomorrow in exploring winter lake ecology. This free event will be held on Thursday, January 23 from 1:00 – 3:30 pm at Trees For Tomorrow.
After an indoor introduction, we will venture out on nearby frozen Silver Lake to collect physical data on the lake including ice thickness, water depth, lake temperature, dissolved oxygen, and clarity. There will be opportunities to use underwater cameras to study plant and animal life. Afterward, we’ll discuss how these parameters change seasonally and what that means for the organisms that use the lake.
Dress appropriately to be outside for around one hour.
Register by Monday, January 20. If you have questions, email troy@northwoodslandtrust.org.
