Visitors are welcome to stop by and see one of the top research facilities in Wisconsin August 5.
Interim Director at the Trout Lake station in Boulder Junction, Susan Knight.....
"...it's an open house for our field station, which is the Trout Lake station, which is part of the Center for Limnology which is part of UW Madison, the Madison campus, but we have a field station here in Boulder Junction..."
Knight says the public is invited to find out about the research, including invasive species...
"...showcase the research going on here and some plants and animals they might not see all the time. We also have some fun things like a pontoon ride on Trout Lake..."
From 1 to 5pm, visitors will have the chance to ride on pontoon boats for a “research cruise” on Trout Lake, meet some of the fish that call Wisconsin’s northern lakes home, learn to tell invasive species from natives, and talk with scientists.
Free Babcock Dairy ice cream made at the University of Wisconsin’s Madison campus will be offered. The event is free and open to visitors of all ages. Trout Lake Station is located on County Road N between Hwy 51 and County Road M.
