To understand the population of bats in Wisconsin.

Keep storm drains clear of leaves, trash, and other debris.

Monitor amphibian populations in temporary wetlands

We want to identify and better understand everywhere within town where water flows toward, into, and along our waterways including riparian (water-side) corridors:• Where do we have flooding and flows, especially with Spring snowmelt and rainstorms.• What is the water quality and when – generally clear? Sometimes or always turbid (muddy)? Forms pools and gets real funky?• What flora and fauna does the water support – willows? Songbirds? Pollinators? Frogs? • What are the seasonal patterns?

We aim to establish the first baseline and long-term observation of sea urchin population density (as keystone species and environmental stress indicators) and help understand:1. How our ecosystem responds to environmental stressors,2. Provide input to local and national authorities3. Inspire the next generation of marine scientists and citizen science volunteers
