Northwoods Land Trust announces winter lake ecology program

The Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) and Trees For Tomorrow will host a free winter lake ecology program from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, January 23 at Trees For Tomorrow.  

“After an indoor introduction, we will venture out on frozen Silver Lake to collect physical data on the lake including ice thickness, water depth, lake temperature, dissolved oxygen, and clarity,” organizers said in a press release. “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.”

To register for the event, visit www.northwoodslandtrust.org and click on News & Events, contact the NWLT office at 715-479-2490 or email [email protected] by Monday, January 20.

Space is limited.
