You’re invited to the Center for Limnology 3rd Annual Open House!
On Friday, June 20th, from 2pm to 6pm, the Center for Limnology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will open the doors of Hasler Lab, 680 North Park Street, for a "behind the scenes" tour of the study of lakes, rivers and streams.
Come spend a half hour or the whole afternoon talking with scientists about their work and the history of limnology in Wisconsin. Visitors will be able to board our research vessel, the Limnos, for a ride out onto Lake Mendota to try their hand at using various lake research tools (first come, first served). There will also be a kids’ craft station for kids – and adults!
Guests will be introduced to all kinds of Madison lakes residents – from zooplankton, to plants, to fish. At the end of the day, attendees will even get a chance to "meet" the different kinds of fish living just off the lakeshore path as we haul in a fyke net and see what we catch.
Ice cream will be provided while supplies last and the event is free and open to visitors of all ages. And, Bucky Badger is scheduled to make an appearance!
Modern limnology was born right here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Today, scientists from across Wisconsin, the nation and the globe are doing world-class research right on the shore of Lake Mendota – exploring issues like invasive species, sport fish dynamics and algae blooms. Join us Friday, June 20th to hear what we’re up to this summer and how the research conducted at the CFL is being used to protect and improve the quality of Wisconsin’s lakes, rivers and streams.
We hope to see you there!
