Underwater Exploration: Statehouse Lake Snorkel
July 20, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm CDT
FreeJoin our Woods and Water team and Wisconsin Master Naturalist Volunteer Marty, a certified diver, for an educational talk and snorkel program to learn about freshwater ecology and the importance of a vibrant and healthy freshwater ecosystem. We will teach participants how to identify aquatic invasive species that are harmful to native species within these freshwater ecosystems and learn proper removal techniques. Participants will be provided with a life vest, a snorkel with mask and fins, and learn basic techniques of snorkeling from our Woods and Water team. Our goal is that this program will engage and inspire participants to join our efforts in becoming environmental stewards. Children 12 and up are welcome to attend. Canoes will be provided, and we will explore Statehouse Lake at the Discovery Center. This is a free program, however, space is limited and registration is required by 7/18/24.
