The University of Michigan Biological Station will host an open house at its main research and teaching campus along Douglas Lake just south of the Mackinac Bridge from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 23. Guests will be able to explore the historic field station and meet with UMBS researchers who will be available to discuss their areas of expertise. Families also will have the opportunity to view organisms collected that weekend during the 2023 BioBlitz, a three-day event where scientists and citizens work together to conduct a 72-hour ecological sampling of the Douglas Lake area to log as many species as possible to assess biodiversity and ecosystem health.
