Turtle Flambeau FlowageLife is Outdoors in Mercer, Wisconsin
From the vast water wonderland of the 14,300 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage to the far-reaching wilderness of the 74,500 acres of public forestland, Mercer offers authentic outdoor adventures that you will remember long after you’ve returned home.
Whether you choose to explore on snowmobile, ATV, car, camper, bike, boat, skis, or by foot, you are sure to discover the unending, unique fascination of the Northwoods.
Every season offers a new way to experience our natural beauty. The quiet of winter snow is broken by the sounds of spring peepers that fade as the loon’s calls fill the lakes in the summer. Finally, the woods explode in a riot of color in autumn and then the cycle begins again. That’s the beauty of Mercer. You can’t go wrong . . . life is outdoors.
Northwoods Wildlife & Wetlands Club Monthly Meeting
Gain a new perspective on nature with our monthly reading group, Natural Pages, a partnership between the Discovery Center and Koller Library. We will focus on a different nature-based book each month, with discussions led by either Discovery Center or library staff. Books will be available for checkout at the library in the weeks prior to the meeting. The first book to be discussed will be Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest by Suzanne Simard. In Finding the Mother Tree, Simard elucidates upon the incredible interconnectedness between tree’s and their environments, their means of communication, and more.
This event is free and open to the public.
This month’s reading group will be held in the Discovery Center’s Historic YCC Lodge.
