Join UW-Stevens Point Extension Lakes outreach specialist Paul Skawinski at Lake Joanis to explore what goes on below the surface. Participants will enjoy a relaxing paddle on Lake Joanis while learning about the lake’s water, sediment, and aquatic life. Paul will demonstrate a variety of lake sampling tools that are used to study lakes and monitor their conditions. 

Paul Skawinski is a Statewide Lakes Outreach Specialist on the UW-Stevens Point Extension Lakes team. He also teaches Aquatic Botany at UWSP and is the author of Aquatic Plants of the Upper Midwest: a photographic field guide to our underwater forests.

This program is free and is only open to members of the Friends of Schmeeckle Reserve. Registration is required; please reserve your spot here.

The program will meet at the accessible fishing pier on the south side of Lake Joanis. Parking is available on Maria Drive.
