About
For several decades, the land and lakes of Wisconsin's Northwoods have been studied by faculty and staff at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Kemp Natural Resources and Trout Lake Stations. "Too often," says Trout Lake Station director, Tim Kratz, "that research has been out of sight and out of mind in the nearby communities."
"Researchers have a tendency to focus on their science rather than discussing their results with the public," Kratz says. "But many of our staff and scientists are year-round residents of Vilas County and, we want to show our neighbors what we do and what we're learning about the place we all call home."
"Hopefully," says Tom Steele, of the Kemp Station, "this will become a successful event where people know they can grab a beer, ask a few questions and get to know the folks who are exploring the past, present and future of Wisconsin's incomparable Northwoods."
All the sponsors hope the series will let people who live in or visit the Northwoods learn about
