N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The public is invited to attend a free, family-friendly open house at a local U.S. Geological Survey center for ecology research on Saturday, September 16th.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center scientists and learn about research conducted at the Jamestown, North Dakota, facility. Wildlife-oriented activities will be available for children, and refreshments, including cookies and lemonade, will be provided.

The USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center has been a member of the Jamestown community since its founding in 1965, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2015 with an informational open house.

“Our science center enjoys the opportunity to show members of the community what we do, and we hope to make this a regular event,” said Dave Mushet, a USGS biologist at the center.

To get to the center, take Bloom Exit 262 off of I-94 and head one mile south. For more information, contact Dave Mushet at 701-253-5558.
