SUMMARY:Citizen Science & eBird!
DESCRIPTION:We will collect data about our migrating birds using binoculars and field guides\, as well as a combination of CornellLab websites! First\, to get us prepared for expected migrants\, we will use BirdCast for our county’s predicted migration. Next\, to get us ready to identify our backyard birds\, we will double-check our field guides and backyard birds. Then\, we will then go out into the field\, observe what is on our playground\, and collect our data! Finally\, we will confirm our observations using allaboutbirds.org\, and enter our data into our eBird account. \nThis is in conjunction with SciStarter.org. \nThis event is just for students at Lincoln Elementary; this event is not open to the general public.

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. \nSpecial event on October 24th – checkout the Einstein Project Mobile Design Lab and build your own bee from 3D-printed and laser-cut materials!

SUMMARY:Citizen Science & eBird!
DESCRIPTION:We will collect data about our migrating birds using binoculars and field guides\, as well as a combination of CornellLab websites! First\, to get us prepared for expected migrants\, we will use BirdCast for our county’s predicted migration. Next\, to get us ready to identify our backyard birds\, we will double-check our field guides and backyard birds. Then\, we will then go out into the field\, observe what is on our playground\, and collect our data! Finally\, we will confirm our observations using allaboutbirds.org\, and enter our data into our eBird account. \nThis is in conjunction with SciStarter.org. \nThis event is just for students at Lincoln Elementary; this event is not open to the general public.

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. \nSpecial event on October 24th – checkout the Einstein Project Mobile Design Lab and build your own bee from 3D-printed and laser-cut materials!
