Join us on Thursday\, July 16th as Rick Burkman discusses these visitors\, where they came from\, why they are here\, and how you may be the one to discover the next weird species in your neighborhood! \nRick is a sometimes writer who became fascinated with birds when he was 5 years old. In the past 25 years he has indulged his fantasy by writing over 100 articles about birds and the natural world for local\, regional\, and national publications. Along the way he has been lucky enough to follow researchers into mosquito infested swamps\, trudge through thigh deep snow with windchills in the double digits below zero\, and watch lots and lots of birds from his office window. \nRegistration for this program helps with planning\, but is not required. \nREGISTER\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X URL:https://northpikescreek.org/calendar-event/weird-things/ LOCATION:Beaver Hollow\, 88850 Compton Rd\, Bayfield\, WI\, 54814 CATEGORIES:Birds ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpikescreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Rick-Burkman-800x400-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of the North Pikes Creek Wetlands":MAILTO:info@northpikescreek.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260813T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260813T150000 DTSTAMP:20260423T064123 CREATED:20260326T213335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T213522Z UID:8894-1786629600-1786633200@northpikescreek.org SUMMARY:Wetlands\, Water Quality\, and Nature Based Solutions DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, August 13 at 2 pm\, as Cortney Dean talks about the many ways beavers impact habitats\, ecosystems\, food webs\, water quality\, and threatened species in Wisconsin. Understanding how beaver work\, how they modify ecosystems\, and what other species can benefit from their activity can help us reframe beavers as conservation and restoration partners rather than chaotic adversaries. She will share data from her own research\, highlights from studies across the globe\, and discuss the challenges facing beavers and nature-based restoration practices here in Wisconsin. \nCortney is a researcher and science communicator located near Menomonie\, Wisconsin. She received her master’s at UW-Stout in Conservation Biology and her thesis research was on beaver impacts to bats\, birds\, and water quality on trout streams. She is currently researching beaver impacts to trout movement and how beaver ponds impact organic matter in wetland soils. She is passionate about bridging the gap between current research and public knowledge. \nRegistration helps with program planning\, but is not required. \nREGISTER\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X URL:https://northpikescreek.org/calendar-event/wetlands-water-quality-and-nature-based-solutions/ LOCATION:Beaver Hollow\, 88850 Compton Rd\, Bayfield\, WI\, 54814 CATEGORIES:Wetlands ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://northpikescreek.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Cortney-Dean-I.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Friends of the North Pikes Creek Wetlands":MAILTO:info@northpikescreek.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260827T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260827T150000 DTSTAMP:20260423T064123 CREATED:20260403T161618Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260403T170841Z UID:8908-1787839200-1787842800@northpikescreek.org SUMMARY:Wild Neighbors: Wolves and Coyotes of the Bayfield Peninsula DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, August 27 at 2 pm\, as Genevieve Adamski\, Wildlife Specialist at Red Cliff Treaty Natural Resources Department presents\, “Wild Neighbors: Wolves and Coyotes of the Bayfield Peninsula.”  Follow the stories of the wolves and coyotes living here on the Bayfield Peninsula\, and learn how their individual journeys reveal the life history of these wild canids.
