Current Research at Kemp
Kemp Station supports two long-term research projects on it’s property:
Long-term Bat Monitoring Station
In addition, each year, Kemp Station supports numerous research projects on a variety of topics related to Wisconsin’s natural resources. The list below shows projects, project leaders and their associations for the current calendar year. Projects are added to this list throughout the year.
