Ever wonder what organisms live in Castle Lake and what that strange platform in the middle of the lake is used for?

Erinn Suenaga, from the University of Nevada, Reno, will present research on the impacts of fires and climate change on the ecology of Castle Lake.

She will share what this might mean for the future of Castle Lake.

The data collected at Castle Lake is being used to better understand the impacts of climate change on this special place.

How do storms and storm-water affect our water?
Buildings and paving prevent storm-water from soaking into the ground, resulting in higher peak flows during storms.

Urban runoff often carries high concentrations of various pollutants, including tire and brake wear products, oil, trash, and waste from dogs and other animals.

Tom Hesseldenz will help us understand this important topic. Solutions will be discussed.

A field trip in town will occur the following day, Saturday, July 15.
