The Cable Natural History Museum has two natural history field trips planned for September.
The first trip is September 23 at the Brawl St.
Croix Boardwalk.
The trip will explore wetlands at the headwaters of both rivers, including Cedar and Black Ash Swamps.
The boardwalk was built by volunteers and gives visitors a chance to explore the wetlands without getting their feet wet.
Then on September 30, the museum will head to the Sand Rock Cliffs near Grantsburg.
The three-mile hike follows the St.
Croix River past
sandstone cliffs and a mix of plant life more commonly found in both northern and southern Wisconsin.
Both trips leave from the Cable Natural History Museum at 10 a.m.
with participants carpooling to the field sites.
The museum van is available on a first come first serve basis and those going to the Sand Rock Cliffs can also arrange to meet the group in Hayward.
Registration for the trips is required and participants should also bring a bag lunch.

Wisconsin drivers are seeing another jump in gas prices this week.
Here's Civic Media's Melissa
K. Average gas prices rose 28.8 cents over the last week.
The average across Wisconsin on Monday, leaping to 409 per gallon.
This is 18.5 cents higher than a month ago and $1.21 per gallon higher than this time last year.
The national average price of diesel increased 31.6 cents compared to last week, with the average price at $6.18 per gallon.
Officials at GasBuddy say escalating geopolitical tensions on multiple fronts caused these drastic jumps at the pump.
Quote, friction between the U.S.
and Iran, new hostilities in the Red Sea, and the shutdown of Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline, all combining to jolt prices sharply higher, said Patrick Dahan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.
He continued that diesel prices could climb even faster after weekend attacks on two additional Russian refineries took them offline.
Even with most of the country transitioning to cheaper winter blend gasoline this week,
ongoing geopolitical escalations will likely offset any seasonal relief.
Gas-buddy officials say motorists should brace for continued price volatility going
forward.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is reminding hunters and the public to follow deer baiting and feeding bans to help slow the spread of chronic wasting disease.
Food, minerals, and other bait can bring deer together in one place, making it easier for CWD to spread.
The disease is always fatal, and the prions that cause it can remain in the environment for years.
Even in counties where no ban is in place, the DNR is asking people not to bait or feed deer, a map showing where baiting and feeding
are currently in effect is available on the DNR's website.

The Chewamagan High School Marching Band has won its second straight championship at the Minnesota State Fair.
According to the Price County Review, the Marching Eagles took first place in Class C during the fair's daily parade on September 2nd, finishing ahead of four other bands in the division for smaller schools.
Under the direction of Kristen Kerch and Alexandria Croft, the band performed Our National March, an adaptation of John Philip Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever.
The bands were judged on music
The band is now planning to perform at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom in November of 2027.
With the cost of the trip out of reach for some students, the band is seeking donations to help make sure they're able to take part.
Anyone interested in donating or sponsoring a student can contact band director Kristen Kerch for more information.
thousands of acres in northern Wisconsin's national forest could be repealed under a proposal from the Trump administration.
The Roadless Area Conservation Rule was put in place in 2001 and restricts commercial logging and road construction in designated areas of national forest land.
In Wisconsin, that includes about 69,000 acres of the Schwamegan-Nicolet National Forest.
The Forest Service proposed getting rid of the rule last month, arguing the restrictions can make it more difficult to manage
fire risk.
The agency says removing the rule could give forest managers more flexibility to make decisions based on local conditions.
The proposal and its draft environmental impact statement are now open for public comment through September 21st.
Several environmental and conservation groups across the Midwest want that deadline extended, saying the public needs more time to review the proposed change.

A big jump in gas prices this week all around our state, Civic Media's Melissa Kay explains how tensions in the Middle East are fueling price hikes right here at home.

This is 18.5 cents higher than a month ago and $1.21 per gallon higher than this time last year.

And you might want to buckle up because gas buddy officials say it's going to be a bumpy ride with continued volatility going forward.
The NFL wants to take a look at Josh Jacobs' home surveillance video before deciding the fate of the Packers star running back.
That's the latest, according to a report by Ian Rappaport with the NFL Network.
A judge recently sealed that video in Jacobs' criminal case.
The order came the same day.
Jacobs accepted a plea deal and pleaded no contest in court.
Prosecutors previously said home surveillance video corroborated relevant portions of the alleged victim's account and showed Jacobs taking her phone and later appearing to damage it.
The Wisconsin DNR is asking energy company Enbridge to stop work on a temporary line by bypass near the site of last month's natural gas liquids leak in Iron County.
Civic media's Maddie Schaefer has the story.
The DNR says Enbridge started work on the bypass without the necessary state approvals after the agency told the company permits would be required.
Enbridge says the roughly 1,500-foot bypass would allow Line 5 to return to service while cleanup and repairs continue near Saxon.
The company has set an unoccupied subcontractor truck rolled into an open excavation on August 25th and struck the pipeline, releasing about 1.3 million gallons of natural gas liquids into the atmosphere.
In a letter sent
On September 9, DNR Secretary Karen Hyun asked Enbridge to stop construction of the bypass and prioritize work at the spill site.
The DNR also issued a notice of noncompliance, saying Enbridge does not have the state approvals needed for the bypass work.
In an email to Civic Media, Enbridge spokesperson Julie Kellner said the company is working on the spill site and the bypass at the same time.
She added that the company will continue to work with the DNR on relevant permitting.

The DNR says it will continue monitoring the site and may consider enforcement action.
A major power line project is facing opposition in the southern part of our state, too.
City leaders in Whitewater say the proposed route could interfere with planned neighborhoods, a high school and technology park.
The $1.2 billion project would carry electricity across southern Wisconsin and into Illinois on towers about 175 feet high.
MGS, the company developing the line, says the routes are preliminary and that Whitewater's concerns will be considered.
More public meetings are planned for late fall, with construction possible through 2033 if state regulators approve the project.
And that's your state news update.

He's got electric stuff.

You know, I think it was just, it was all positive.
It was just like, hey, yeah, you're figuring it out and figuring out how to throw the righties and, you know, get out.
And so, you know, it was all positive.
