Young scientists share enthusiasm with uw-stout professors, retired area educators at science exploration day.

On a sunny Saturday morning in May, 24 area children became young scientists in hands-on activities led by University of Wisconsin-Stout  environmental science faculty and retired area educators at the  Colfax Red Cedar Preserve and Recreation Area ’s annual Science Exploration Day.

The second- to sixth-graders learned about the creatures and habitats of the preserve while exploring with volunteers UW-Stout biology professors Keith Gilland and Julia Chapman  and committee members Mark Mosey and Paul Verdon in three 50-minute sessions.

Gilland and Chapman have volunteered at the preserve since 2019, collaborating with community members and UW-Stout students to enhance its habitats.

“The connection we have with the preserve has been really valuable for providing our environmental science students opportunities to do research, gain hands-on experience and develop new skills,” Chapman said.

During the science day, Gilland and Chapman focused on grassland bugs and critters and the ecology of a prairie; Mosey on amphibians and reptiles; and Verdon on rocks and minerals. In turn, they learned about the children’s enthusiasm for their topics as questions and observations poured in.

“Science lends itself to wanting to share it with anyone who is genuinely interested. Children are naturally curious about their surroundings, and I feel obligated to help them better understand their world. Just seeing the interest and knowledge they possess, I have renewed hope for the future,” said Mosey, who taught life science to middle and high school students in Colfax for 33 years.

Verdon taught earth and space science in Menomonie for 33 years and served as environmental education coordinator for a decade.

“I frequently encouraged interested students to consider science as a career,” he said. “It’s so important that the general public has a good understanding of the earth and how it works, so that we can take care of it. With the changes that our environment is facing, it’s more important than ever.”

The Colfax Red Cedar Preserve and Recreation Area offers  several events and activities throughout the year. Located roughly one mile north of downtown Colfax on State Road 170, it comprises more than 150 acres, with access to the Red Cedar River. The 12-acre Ferry Pond is popular for fishing and motorless boating, and a walking path takes hikers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers through wooded and prairie areas.

UW-Stout clinical mental health counseling Professor Julie Bates-Maves often visits the preserve with her family and attended the science day with her children.

“It’s a beautiful place to explore. Having Stout partner to provide programming at no cost for local children is even better. This event was so much fun. I’m so thankful for the time that Stout professors put in alongside other local educators. It’s a fantastic free resource for our region.”

Grassland bugs and critters

Gilland and Chapman led the children on a short walk through the portion of the preserve that is being rehabilitated as prairie and oak savannah, east and south of Ferry Pond. They talked about some of the prairie plants and why they are important habitat for various insects and animals at the preserve.

Native grasses and flowers are being replanted to create habitat for grouse, pheasants, small predators and insects. Chapman strewed native flower seeds while Gilland turned over dead logs to find roly-poly pill bugs, ants and beetles.

One of the groups spotted a painted turtle crossing the preserve road to reach the Red Cedar River. Chapman described how to identify a painted turtle by looking for the yellow lines on its head and red pattern on its belly, versus a slider turtle, which has a red stripe behind its eyes and no red on its belly. While painteds are native, sliders are non-native and are pets that people have released.

Throughout the day, they found garter snakes and five prairie skinks – a small lizard with tiny limbs that appears to move like a snake through the thick grass.

Gilland explained how the presence of the small predatory reptile is evidence of the returning health of the preserve and an indication of a returning balance to the food chain. There are small insects to feed the small reptiles and birds; and native plants to feed small herbivores and omnivores like skunks, raccoons, foxes and coyotes, as evidenced when a child found skat with hair and bone.

Amphibians and reptiles

Mosey is on the preserve’s management committee and helps document phenology on the property. His sixth-grade science teacher made science fun with a lot of hands-on learning, and his dad took him hunting and fishing at an early age. 

“I learned about the river ecosystem, and it became a part of me from then on,” he said. “I became a science educator because I realized how important it was to share knowledge about how things work in nature and how we as humans are part of that system.”

Walking the preserve road to the wetland area on the west side of Ferry Pond, he and the children saw painted turtles basking on a log. They passed a dead softshell turtle and talked about how its shell differs from most turtle species.

At the wetland area, Mosey had set aside a ten-gallon bucket and a small fishing net. He had hoped to net a frog or two, but instead netted some aquatic plants, algae and snail eggs for the children to examine.

On the north shore of the pond, Mosey pointed out a dried broken turtle shell. He and the children talked about the differences between amphibians and reptiles, including the structure of their eggshells, where they lay their eggs and how their young are born.

The children presented him with interesting questions and their own observations and facts, including how sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs and how they may dig multiple holes to lay their eggs in, to save some from predation.

Mosey, a  Wisconsin Frog and Toad Survey volunteer, helps conduct counts of the amphibians in Dunn County. He explained to the children that to count, he listens for their calls during different periods in the spring and summer, and notes either one call, two calls or a chorus of three or more.

He explained how there is only one species of toad in Wisconsin, while there are 11 species of frog. They then listened for calls, identifying spring peepers, gray treefrogs and the American toad. Mosey also played calls on his phone, and the children practiced mimicking the sounds they heard.

Rocks and minerals

Verdon, who serves on the preserve’s planning committee, grew up in northeast Iowa, exploring the Mississippi River valley. Like Mosey, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, trapping and hiking. 

“This experience was a major factor in choosing a career in science education. Also, my dad was a science teacher,” Verdon said. “I’ve always tried to make science fun and engaging for my students. Hands-on science in an outdoor setting is a perfect combination.” 

Sitting around a picnic table near the new Ferry Pond fishing pier during the exploration day, Verdon introduced children to the three types of rock – igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. They focused largely on agates and quartz, formed deep within the earth under intense heat one billion years ago.

Verdon passed around examples from his own rock collection, explaining how quartz crystals are formed and how it is harder than most rocks, lasting long after others have eroded. Holding an apple-size agate in his hand, he sprayed it to show the children how water can bring out the true color of a rock and make its minerals shine.

They then walked along the road through the prairie area to a gravel pile to look for agates and other rocks the children could keep.

Verdon explained that the preserve is the site of an old quarry and that the gravel below their feet could be 50 feet deep because glaciers deposited a mass of rocks across the region upwards of two million years ago, when the rivers were 50 feet higher.

The children picked through the gravel, asking Verdon about the rocks they found. Even after their rock session ended and they joined their other sessions, they continued to look for agates on their walks.

Hands-on environmental activities embody polytechnic experience 

Gilland and Chapman conduct controlled burns at local natural areas with  the Prairie Enthusiasts , including the Colfax preserve and Dobb’s Landing, north of Lake Tainter. They recruit and train UW-Stout students to help with these burns. Gilland also instructs a one-credit chainsaw safety course.

Over the past couple of years at the preserve, they have removed invasive plant species, such as buckthorn, Siberian elm and non-native honeysuckle, from the prairie area and have seeded and planted trees. 

They cut, hauled, stacked and burned organic material to expand the native grassland and to open the area around a new kestrel nesting box and osprey nesting platform.

“These hands-on opportunities are a win-win. Our students get the experience of managing natural areas and the local natural areas benefit from their contributions. This embodies the polytechnic experience at UW-Stout,” said environmental science Program Director Mandy Little .

This summer, Little, Gilland, Chapman, Professor Nicole Hayes and students are studying the effects of beaver on riparian areas at Beaver Creek Reserve, in Eau Claire County; and water quality and riparian stream area management at the Gilbert and Wilson Creek trout stream restorations, as part of the Red Cedar Basin Monitoring Grant through the Wisconsin Freshwater Collaborative. 

They are also studying the effects of ash die-off on the local black and green ash swamps at Muddy Creek State Wildlife Area; and will manage and monitor properties around Galloway Creek in town.

Faculty and students have also  removed invasive plant species from the south shore of Lake Menomin with the Lower Chippewa Invasives Partnership; worked toward  prairie restoration at Menomin Park on the northeastern shore of Lake Menomin; identified more than 200 plant species at  Devil’s Punchbowl ; and monitored the  health of Red Cedar watershed through LAKES REU.

Civic engagement is one of UW-Stout’s  enduring commitments  and is at the core of preparing students to lead in their chosen fields and in their communities.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
