Event Series: Schlitz Audubon Nature Center 2026

RAIN DATE: Sunday, June 20 | 10:00a-12:00p

Join Schlitz Audubon Staff to clean up Mystery Lake! We will use canoes to access every inch of the pond so we can remove the large invasive snails. You will learn about this snail species, its impact on the ecosystem, and how you’re making a difference. You and your family will be given the tools needed, including buckets and nets, to help catch the snails. How many snails can you collect?

When registering for this program, one canoe is for a maximum of four people. At least one adult is required to be in the canoe with children at all times. Two adults and two children can fit comfortably in each canoe. Children aged 5 and younger must bring their own life jacket. This program takes place entirely outdoors. In case of inclement weather, the program will be rescheduled to Sunday, June 20 at the same time.

Please note: Dates and times are subject to change, and occasionally events may be cancelled. Please check the event website to confirm the latest details.
