The Little Traverse Conservancy is teaming up with the Little Traverse Bay Bands (LTBB) of Odawa Indians and Maureen Stine of Natureology to provide a day full of winter fun “up-north” style! Observe tracks in the snow, learn about lakes in the winter, get a lesson in ice fishing and - if the snow is deep - we may even do a little snowshoeing! Come ready for the elements as we hike through the trails of Round Lake Nature Preserve and make our way out to the frozen Round Lake. Maureen will share ice fishing basics such as safety, rigging a jig pole and tip-up, and positive messages on fishing ethics. Kira Davis of LTBB will provide a hands-on field presentation about the importance of water to the Odawa Tribe and how they monitor lakes in the winter. Participate in the data process and how to use a Sonde to learn what all the data means to keep our water clean! Dress warmly as we will be outdoors and on the windy lake for the duration of this event (layers of windproof clothing, hats, gloves and warm socks and waterproof boots are highly recommended). No charge for this outing but pre-registration is required by calling 231.347.0991.
