Join us for a Lilly Center Ecotour!

We’re offering four Ecotours this summer! If you live on one of these lakes, or can transport your boat to one of them, we’d welcome your presence.

WAWASEE & SYRACUSE LAKES | RSVP here

WINONA LAKE | RSVP here

TIPPECANOE CHAIN | RSVP here

Dr. Nate Bosch will narrate the tour, and it will be broadcast on an FM radio station for your listening comfort. You’ll be encouraged to text questions to him during the tour, as well! Learn to see your lake in new ways as you explore the surface to the deepest depths and the largest to the smallest plants and animals living in the middle. You’ll also learn about the lake food chain, temperature layers, inflowing streams, surrounding wetlands, weeds and algae. Be sure to pack your gear and join us for the expedition!

What to bring:

  • Clear drinking glass to see zooplankton
  • Sponge to talk about wetlands
  • Hard-toothed rake to sample weeds
  • Phone to text questions

Printed ticket is not required to attend.
