STEVENS POINT — Discover the roles of forest restoration, roots, trapping and woodpeckers in nature this November through programs at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point’s Schmeeckle Reserve.

Taught by UW-Stevens Point students, the free programs meet at the reserve’s Visitor Center, located at 2419 North Point Dr., Stevens Point, unless otherwise noted. For more information, call 715-346-4992 or go to www.uwsp.edu/cnr/schmeeckle. Dress for the weather, as most programs are outdoors.

·         Trapping: Historic Practice, Timeless Value, Saturday, Nov. 10, 2:30-3:30 p.m. Join Trapper Chris on a journey back to a time when trappers provided for their families, then hear how trapping is still used today.
