SUMMARY:Ethics: The Examined Life
DESCRIPTION: I often tell the young adult students I usually teach that learning how to make moral decisions involves lifelong learning. It seems that life keeps throwing us new moral problems to consider and prompting us to reconsider how we have made such decisions in the past. This class will give us a chance to consider and discuss these issues in an organized way. \nWhat you need to start: an interest in examining moral issues in your own life and in some of the hot-button moral issues of the day. \nSession One\, May 2: The examined life—a quick introduction to the 3\,000-year-old conversation that is moral philosophy. These are the basic thinking tools people have used to consider moral problems.  \nSession Two\, May 9: The Ethics of Science. Every scientific and medical advance raises moral questions\, and we will look at some of them\, from genetic engineering to self-driving cars. \nSession Three\, May 16: Making Life and Death Decisions. Issues from abortion to physician-assisted suicide. \nSession Four\, May 23: Ethics and Society: What moral duties do we have to our communities? What are their limits and justifications? What does it mean to behave justly as an individual and as a nation? This could involve anything from wheelchair accessibility to charitable giving. But wait\, there’s more . . . lifelong learning\, after all. \nCourse materials: There will be suggested readings but no homework except thinking. All the suggested reading will be on the web in one form or another. \nInstructor: Tom Evans \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-0201 or (906) 285-7517.

SUMMARY:Forest Management for Wildlife
DESCRIPTION:Note: There are two options for taking this class: Zoom only (May 10th and 17th)\, or Zoom plus field trip (same dates plus May 31 field trip\, numbers limited). \nStudents will learn about forestry conservation practices that benefit wildlife while also maintaining economical logging value. We will discuss ethical forest management options based on habitat type and landowner desires. Current and future threats to forest management and different strategies to improve sustainable land management will be addressed. \nClass One\, May 10\, Noon-1PM: Forest habitat types\, how to identify them\, what species benefits from them\, and threats to their ecosystems. \nClass Two\, May 17\, Noon-1PM: Management practices for different habitat types and species within them. \nField Trip\, May 31\, Noon-2PM: Management on the Iron County Forest and Little Turtle Flowage. \nRequirements: Students should have an interest in small- or large-scale forestry practices along with the desire to know how human interference impacts wildlife species. The two-hour field trip will require transportation to the MECCA ski chalet and vehicles may be required to drive down the logging/ATV trail behind it. Students will be expected to stand/walk for 2 hours. Bathrooms will be accessible prior to and after the walk\, but not during it. Please be sure to wear the proper shoes and clothing (long socks to tuck your pants into and head net if necessary). Bring your binoculars\, bird books and anything else that will help you enjoy the local wildlife! \nInstructor: Jenna Malinowski \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-0201 or (906) 285-7517.

SUMMARY:Birding the Little Turtle Flowage by Boat and on Foot
DESCRIPTION:One of the stops on the Great Wisconsin Birding and Nature Trail\, the Little Turtle Flowage near Mercer encompasses nearly 640 acres of wetlands and supports a remarkable array of nesting bird species including trumpeter swans\, sandhill cranes\, ospreys\, eagles\, black terns\, sora rails\, marsh wrens\, and\, on occasion\, yellow-headed blackbirds. The uplands surrounding the Flowage also offer both forests and grasslands to provide additional varied habitat. \nThe Flowage is an exceptional place to listen to a marsh chorus of birds coming alive at sunrise. However\, in deference to later risers\, we’ll start after the sun is well up\, paddle slowly\, and stop frequently to search and listen. We’ll then beach the kayaks and canoes to hike some of the uplands in search of early waves of warblers returning from the Tropics. \nThe hike will be about 1 mile on a wide path with some small ups and downs. It can easily be done in tennis shoes. Binoculars are absolutely needed\, bug dope probably needed\, snacks and water helpful. Wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts. Bring rain gear in case it’s needed. \nStudents must provide their own boats. If possible\, please consider bringing a 2-person boat as class is limited to 10 boats. \nInstructor: John Bates \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 862-0201 or (906) 285-7517.
