SUMMARY:Bogs and Beavers
DESCRIPTION:This class will take place on May 30\, 1-3p.m. with Susan Knight at the Trout Lake Station\, and on June 6\, 1-3p.m. with Jenna Malinowski at the Mercer Community Center\, with a field trip. By signing up for this class\, you register for both sessions!\nIMPORTANT UPDATE: The June 6 session of this class has been rescheduled to June 20\, 1:00-3:00p.m.\, at the Mercer Library.\nBogs: Gems of the Northwoods\nwith Susan Knight \nNorthern Wisconsin bogs are peatlands typical of many wetlands around the world at high northern latitudes. We find these bogs throughout the Northwoods\, and they are easy to spot on a topographic map of the area. They tend to be wet\, cold\, acidic\, low in oxygen and nutrient-poor. Because of all these conditions\, they share a unique flora\, including several carnivorous plants\, orchids and other unusual plants not found in many northern Wisconsin habitats. Also because of all these conditions\, decomposition of dead organic matter is very slow\, and they accumulate and store a tremendous amount of carbon. This is critically important to limiting the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. For those willing to get their feet wet\, they are fun to visit and are remarkably free of mosquitoes. \nBeaver Management in Wisconsin: Past\, Present and Future\nwith Jenna Malinowski \nJenna Malinowski is a wildlife biologist who sits on the Furbearer Advisory Committee\, Beaver Task Force\, and is active in the Wisconsin Trappers Association. Jenna will spend an hour presenting on beaver biology\, history\, ecological impacts\, population status\, economic considerations\, habitat management and beaver damage management currently outlined in the Wisconsin DNR Beaver Management Plan. She will discuss current research on the relationship between beavers and cold stream management\, trapping research\, and techniques for managing nuisance beaver. The presentation will be followed by a field trip to an active beaver lodge and beautiful wetland created by our beloved ecosystem engineers. \nInstructors: Susan Knight and Jenna Malinowski \nOffline Registration: Download PDF Registration Form\, complete and mail in with payment. \nRegistration Questions? Contact us or call (715) 892-3982 or (715) 476-2881. \nRegistration Issues/Troubleshooting: If you are registering with one email address for two or more people\, please register each person individually (i.e. do not register all at once\, but add students one at a time to checkout). If you continue to have difficulty or have another question\, please contact us.

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.
