The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore hosts one of the best landscape scale representations of Canada yew (Taxus canadensis) in the Great Lakes states. As a keystone species, Canada yew has a considerable influence on the park’s ecosystems related to its abundance.

Peggy retired at the end of May after 22 years at Apostle Islands. Prior to that she worked as a Wildlife Biologist for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and held Fire and Landscape Ecologist positions for the U.S. Forest Service. She also completed a dissertation titled “Enhancing human motivation in group settings relative to climate change”, and currently volunteers to promote action on the issue. 

Science on Tap happens every third Tuesday of the month at the Alley Restaurant in Ashland. There's a 30-45 minute presentation from a speaker followed by an audience Q&A. We recommend arriving early to secure your beverage/food and a seat.
