SUMMARY:Exploring Climate Solutions: Energy Conservation At Home & In Our Community
DESCRIPTION:We use a lot of electricity! Try out our pedal power bike and handcranked generator to experience how much energy it takes to light up bulbs\, operate a fan to cool you off\, and maybe even get a hair dryer to turn on! Let’s chat about the importance of energy conservation in our homes and our community as we prepare for the cold days of winter that are just around the corner.\nThis is one of a series of events offered by the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education at UW-Stevens Point in partnership with the Wisconsin Science Festival.

SUMMARY:Tiny Bee.  Big Deal. - Searching Treinen Farm for the Rusty Patched Bumblebee
DESCRIPTION:There’s a tiny endangered neighbor living in Wisconsin—and you might walk right past one without ever knowing it. \nMeet the rusty patched bumble bee\, one of Wisconsin’s native bumble bees and the first bumble bee species in the United States to receive federal protection under the Endangered Species Act. \nThen head outside and explore the kind of world a bumble bee needs. \nAt Treinen Farm in Lodi\, Wisconsin\, our 2026 corn maze theme\, The Birds and the Bees\, takes guests into the wonderfully strange science of pollination\, reproduction\, biodiversity\, birds\, bees\, and the many ways living things depend on one another. \nBeyond the corn maze\, explore our restored prairie and oak savanna and look more closely at the flowers\, insects\, birds\, and habitats around you. Why do native flowers matter? Where do bumble bees spend the winter? What does a bee need besides flowers? And just what is that “rusty patch\,” anyway? \nCome get lost in the maze—and leave looking at the little things around you differently. \nWho: All ages are welcome. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.\nAdmission: Regular Treinen Farm admission applies. Children ages 2 and under are free.\nTickets: https://www.treinenfarm.com\nLocation: Treinen Farm Corn Maze & Pumpkin Patch\, Lodi\, Wisconsin\nParking: Free parking is available at the farm. \nThis is an outdoor event on a working farm. Dress for the weather and wear shoes ready for grass\, dirt\, gravel\, and possibly mud.

SUMMARY:The Insect Epiphany: How Our Six-Legged Allies Shape Human Culture
DESCRIPTION:Barrett Klein\, University of Wisconsin – La Crosse professor and author of The Insect Epiphany\, will share his knowledge and passion with us at this event. \nInsects surround us. They fuel life on Earth through their roles as pollinators\, predators\, and prey\, but rarely do we consider the outsized influence they have had on our culture and civilization. Their anatomy and habits inform how we live\, work\, create art\, and innovate —from ancient etchings to avant-garde art\, from bug-based meals to haute couture—The Insect Epiphany proves that our world would look very different without insects\, not just because they are crucial to our ecosystems\, but because they have shaped and inspired so many aspects of what makes us human.
