Event Description:
Discover wildlife that calls Wisconsin's Northwoods home through Wildlife Wednesdays at Treehaven! Join us monthly for this FREE all-ages program series, and explore the natural history of each month's focus animal through presentations, interactive activities, guided walks, and/or specimen observation. From fur to feathers, woods to water, predator to prey, and more, experience the diversity of the animal world right outside our windows!
Sit and relax outdoors at a casual campfire chat all about a beloved animal—the river otter! This marvelous mustelid, or member of the weasel family, is well-known for having a playful and energetic nature. All that play helps to hone hunting skills, which are a necessity for an important predator of aquatic ecosystems! We'll discuss the unique traits and lifestyle of river otters, paying special attention to the roles they play in nature. What can the presence of otters tell us about the health of a freshwater ecosystem? Learn how little actions can have a big impact on not only their populations, but all living creatures who depend on clean lakes and rivers to survive!
