Wetland Community Gatherings

Join us to celebrate American Wetlands Month at a special social gathering at Delta Beer Lab! You’ll have a great time engaging with other wetland enthusiasts and—with every pint raised—you’ll be helping to protect and restore Wisconsin’s wetlands for generations to come.

In addition to conversations with other wetland enthusiasts, partake in cornhole, darts, shuffleboard, and other games, and help raise funds for Wisconsin’s wetlands (Delta Beer Lab will donate a portion of the evening’s proceeds to WWA). 

Delta Beer Lab sells pizza, pretzels, and other bar snacks, or bring your own vittles.

While an RSVP is not required, it will help us plan for the crowd, so please click the button above to let us know you plan to attend. And bring your friends, neighbors, and (of age) family!

What is a fen? Why is it poor? And which beautiful Beings live there? Join Cable Natural History Museum Naturalist and fen fanatic Emily Stone to explore a magical fen 10 miles east of Cable. You’ll learn about fen formation, plant ecology and identification, and more! 

Meet at 12:30 p.m. at the Forest Lodge Nature Trail and plan to drive 3 more miles from there. Dress for the weather, sun, and bugs, and wear shoes that can get wet. Entry into the fen is across a small moat on a fallen log, with a pole for balance. Physical fitness is required for safety. Any adult learners are welcome. Presented by the Cable Natural History Museum in partnership with the Wisconsin Wetlands Association.
