Celebrating 100 years in existence! Rain or shine!
Trout Lake Station’s Open House is an opportunity to get a first-hand look at what research is going on at the station this summer, as well as meet the scientists and students conducting it!
This years’ activities for visitors to the station include meeting some of the fish that call Wisconsin’s northern lakes home, learning to tell invasive species from natives, and talking with scientists about the state of Wisconsin lakes and our role in keeping them healthy for future generations.
An Open House visitor creates aquatic art; Susan Knight shows us what bladderworts look like; Open House visitors by the Trout Lake shore hear about current research
We will have aquatic-themed crafts, an art exhibition of material produced by the station’s annual “Artists in Residence,” and free Babcock Dairy ice-cream!
CFL scientists conduct research all over the world, exchanging knowledge and helping to solve global environmental problems.
With TLS staff and student researchers available, guests are able to learn about what it means when a tree is bendy, how to build a battery from bog water, what that giant buoy on Trout does, how to pinpoint zooplankton under the scope, why aquatic hitchhikers must be stopped and how to identify fish and aquatic plants.
