Join Geneva Lake Conservancy, Geneva Lake Museum, and Lake Geneva Rotary on Wednesday, June 29th from 5:30 to 7pm for a reception to celebrate the opening of the Conservancy's oak tree exhibit. Cheese trays and wine will be provided.

Featured in the exhibit is a ring from an old oak tree. The exhibit encourages viewers to learn about the importance of oaks in our ecosystem, and to count the rings to determine how old the oak would have been when it was cut down.

Oak trees are what’s known as a keystone species, which means that they provide habitat and nutrients for many native wildlife and insects. They support over 500 types of caterpillars, many birds, and other wildlife. They also store a lot of carbon dioxide in their trunks and branches, thus helping reduce the effects of climate change.

We're looking forward to celebrating this new educational exhibit with members of the Geneva Lake community!

Thanks to the Lake Geneva Rotary Club and others for funding and assisting with the exhibit.
