Where: Cedar Lake Park (West of the lake, link to map of meeting place)

What to expect:

  • Staff will be present to answer questions about data collection and other "sciencey stuff," but no formal program is planned.
What to bring: Yourself. A guest if you like. A mask if it makes you comfortable.

Parking: Be prepared for limited options. A U-shaped lot with ~20 spots is located nearby off Cedar Lake Parkway, close to where W 25th St comes to a "T" with Cedar Shore Drive. You may have to park in a residential neighborhood and walk a few blocks to the meeting area.
