Northwoods Land Trust, Trees to host free lake ecology program

Join Northwoods Land Trust (NWLT) and Trees For Tomorrow (TFT) in exploring winter lake ecology in a free event to be held on Thursday, Jan. 23, from 1 - 3:30 p.m. at the TFT campus.
After an indoor introduction, participants will venture out on frozen Silver Lake to collect physical data on the lake including ice thickness, water depth, lake temperature, dissolved oxygen and clarity.
There will be opportunities to use underwater cameras to study plant and animal life.
Afterward, participants will discuss how these parameters change seasonally and what that means for the organisms that use the lake.
Dress appropriately to be outside for around one hour. To register for the event, go online at www.northwoodslandtrust.org and click on News & Events, contact the NWLT office at 715-479-2490, or email troy@northwoodslandtrust.org by Monday, Jan. 20. Space is limited.
NWLT permanently conserves natural shorelands, woodlands and other natural resources to benefit present and future generations in Vilas, Oneida, Forest, Florence, Iron, Price and Langlade Counties.
