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:Migration Obstacles & Bird Collision Corps
DESCRIPTION:Migration season is upon us! We will be learning about migration obstacles through an interactive educational activity/obstacle course that teaches students about physical challenges and environmental hazards that migratory birds face on their journey. \nAdditionally\, we will be focusing in on Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance’s (SWBA) “Bird Collision Corps” Citizen Science opportunity\, hoping to participate in the spring. From SWBA’s website: “Bird-window collisions kill over 1 BILLION birds every single year in the United States. That shocking number can be drastically reduced when communities work together to ensure windows that are most problematic for birds are treated to prevent collisions. Typically\, the first step in making change in your community is to collect data on when\, where\, and to what extent the problem is happening. That’s where the Bird Collision Corps (BCC) program comes in.” \nBoth events are in collaboration with SWBA’s education program. \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.

SUMMARY:Exploring Climate Solutions: The Superpowers of Street Trees
DESCRIPTION:How can a crabapple tree be a weapon in the fight against climate change? Stop by this booth at the Superior Downtown Farmer’s Market to try out some hands-on activities that help answer this question. Staff from the LEAF K-12 Forestry Education Program will be on hand with tools like infrared thermometers and carbon sequestration measurement tapes that marketgoers can use to explore the benefits of street trees. We will also have information and resources related to planting edible forests. There will be fun things to do for both children and adults! No registration is required for this drop-in exhibit. \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: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.
