Kemp Station to host winter ecology presentations this weekend

The public is invited to hear short summary presentations on the winter ecology findings of students from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) on Saturday, Jan. 11, at 1 p.m. at the Kemp Natural Resource Center.
Students of MIAD descended upon the Kemp Station to complete a series of short term research studies on the winter ecology of the forests and lakes in the area.
Stepping out of their academic comfort zone, and stepping into this natural sciences honors field course, were students majoring in fine arts, product design, illustration or communication design.
The public can learn about the findings from the students’ week-long endeavor, exploring a variety of ecological aspects, and including an overview of their art/design interests. Topics can range from ‘do biotic factors drive biodiversity’ to ‘implications of different forest management strategies’ and everything in between, depending on each student’s personal research interest. This is the third time Kemp has hosted this event, which will be held at the Kemp Station at 9161 Kemp Road in Woodruff.
