SUMMARY:Exploring the Wild Undeveloped Lakes of Iron County: Moose Lake
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Wild Undeveloped Lakes of Iron County is a special summer fundraiser series for FeU! Enjoy paddling on a wild lake with two highly respected instructors. All profits go toward bringing in more classes you love. \nThis fundraiser is $30\, with the option to add an additional gift at checkout.\nThis class will take place 9:00a.m. to Noon on Tuesday\, July 25\, at Moose Lake in Iron County\, with John Bates and Susan Knight.\nParticipants will gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the remarkable community of life typically found in a northern lake\, and in particular\, in Moose Lake\, a pristine 270-acre\, 12 feet deep wild lake within the 4\,293-acre Moose Lake State Natural Area. If time permits\, we will also paddle Little Moose Lake\, a 13-acre bog lake connected to Moose Lake via a tiny stream. The stream may require pulling one’s kayak/canoe over a beaver dam. \nThis class will cover the following topics: aquatic plant species identification and ecology\, shoreland plant composition and its connection to water quality\, general natural history of bird/amphibian/mammal/insect species of the lake\, the importance of lake morphology\, and\, of course\, we’ll “cover” the importance of beauty in our lives\, but also let the beauty of the lakes speak for themselves. We will paddle slow and stop frequently to discuss the attributes of the lake. \nClass limit: 15 students.\nRequirements: Participants must have their own pfd (lifejacket)\, paddle\, and canoe or kayak\, and must be a reasonably experienced paddler – this is a large lake and the conditions are often windy. No requirements for readings prior to the course. \nInstructors: John Bates and Susan Knight \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:Exploring the Wild Undeveloped Lakes of Iron County: Frog Lake
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Wild Undeveloped Lakes of Iron County is a special summer fundraiser series for FeU! Enjoy paddling on a wild lake with two highly respected instructors. All profits go toward bringing in more classes you love. \nThis fundraiser is $30\, with the option to add an additional gift at checkout.\nThis class will take place Monday\, July 24\, 9:00a.m.-Noon\, at Frog Lake and Pines State Natural Area\, with John Bates and Susan Knight.\nParticipants will gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the remarkable community of life typically found in a northern lake\, and in particular\, in Frog Lake\, a pristine 42-acre\, 45 feet deep wild lake that has never seen any development. \nClass will cover the following topics: aquatic plant species identification and ecology\, shoreland plant composition and its connection to water quality\, general natural history of bird/amphibian/mammal/insect species of the lake\, the importance of lake morphology\, and\, of course\, we’ll “cover” the importance of beauty in our lives\, but also let the beauty of the lake speak for itself. We will paddle slow and stop frequently to discuss the attributes of the lake. \nClass limit: 15 students. \nRequirements: Participants must have their own pfd (lifejacket)\, paddle\, and canoe or kayak\, must be able to portage their boat for 100 yards to the put-in\, and must be at least a reasonably experienced paddler. We will also hike about 1/4th of a mile along the shoreline prior to the paddle. No requirements for readings prior to the course. \nInstructors: John Bates and Susan Knight \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).

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).
