Depending on their age, students might take part in water testing, give a narrated tour of the wetlands, or meet some very interesting animals. Public programs appeal to children and adults, and are updated seasonally. The reserve can also be used for snowshoeing, photography and kayaking. Benefits of such programs include a quieter study environment, interaction with advanced students with similar majors, higher grades, and reduced drinking. The time is spent in a teaching laboratory pursuing a scientific topic or question with our student assistants.
Dates are limited to only a few days each year, so please call early.
