Arboretum Naturalists’ Enrichment Lecture: Wisconsin Bumblebees.

Bumble bees are generally the first pollinators out in the morning and the last to leave a field in the evening. Their diligent work is important for many agricultural crops and is essential for certain crops such as cranberries and blueberries. Bumble bees also play an extremely valuable role in wildflower pollination. Unfortunately, factors such as habitat loss and introduced pathogens threaten bumble bees and the services they provide. In recent years, several species in Wisconsin have undergone severe declines. Losses of bumble bees can have far ranging economic and ecological impacts. Whether you are a land manager, an urban gardener, a suburban park manager, a working farmer, or a teacher, there are steps we can all take to help conserve these charismatic and important animals. Fee and registration required. Age Range: All Ages. Contact: UW-Madison Arboretum at info@uwarboretum.org or 608-263-7888. Thursday, February 23, 2012, 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM.

Dad's Day: So You've Learned to Change a Diaper - Now What?

Being a dad doesn't end once our kids start eating solid foods and burping on their own. Yet support for dads has been limited to a few basic "how-to" and "survival-guide" workshops. Although the information presented in these groups is important, it is also incomplete - like an auto repair manual that tells you how to change the oil, but not how to change the spark plugs, transmission fluid or a flat tire. This class treats dad as a whole person. It includes the first-year basics and beyond, and addresses big life issues including second-class parent syndrome, the discipline dilemma, dad's emotional life - and goals for dads, kids and the family. Cost: $15.00 Date: 3/10/2012 Time: 10:00am - 11:30am. Presenter: Joey Donovan Guido. Contact: Women's Health Education: 608.417.8446. Saturday, March 10, 2012, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM.

Maple Syrup Fest

Bring your family to celebrate spring at MAPLE SYRUP FEST -- a family-style festival at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center! This year's Maple Syrup Fest will feature ten stations set throughout the nature center grounds that will lead visitors, at their own pace, through the history of maple syruping and related craft and activities. Naturalists will tap the maple trees on the nature center grounds and collect sap in buckets to make the syrup. See the sap boil over a roaring fire as it concentrates into "liquid gold". When the sap is boiled, the sap's naturally occurring water evaporates as steam, leaving the sap and its sweetness to concentrate into maple syrup. • Tap and Taste real MapleTree Sap • Test your "Nature Smarts" with Maple Syrup Trivia • Increase your Knowledge of Trees with "Build-A-Tree" Game! • Learn from a Real "Tapper" how Maple Syrup is made Today and the Old-Fashioned Way! • Tour the Rustic Children's Shack • Take part in Cooking Demonstrations with Early Pioneer Settler Women • Enjoy… Contact: Julie Erdmann. Sunday, March 25, 2012, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM. Aldo Leopold Nature Center 330 Femrite Dr. Monona, WI 53716. For more info visit naturenet.com.
