SUMMARY:Badger Talk: Are We Doomed? An Optimist's Guide to Climate\, Conservation\, & Wisconsin's Economy
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, in-person talk hosted on October 19\, 2026 at 6:00 PM by Village of Cottage Grove Library Board in Cottage Grove\, WI. No registration is necessary for this event.

Ankur Desai will review what we know to date about climate change impacts in Wisconsin and the work his lab and others have done to understand how we can mitigate or adapt to these effects while also preserving and improving our quality of life.\n\nAnkur Desai is a Professor of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the UW–Madison. He studies how ecosystems respond to climate variability and how the climate responds to ecological patterns and processes.

DESCRIPTION:Wondering what the next step is in reducing your carbon footprint after changing your lightbulbs and using reusable bags? Worried that your home is just too old to ever go green? Explore a 90+ year old home and learn what it took to make it solar-powered and fossil-fuel free\, along with tips for doing the same yourself. Kids and adults alike can get hands-on with solar power\, exploring how a solar panel can power lights and fans\, and what benefits a battery can add to the system. Learn about trees as another climate solution\, and all the benefits of forest products and household and community trees. Stop in at any time during open house hours to explore climate solutions! \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.
