A spectacular view from the bluff at Fischer Creek Park.
A common species of Carex (Sedge) with fruit.
Cattails can grow very high in Wisconsin wetlands in the summer. WRM students pose for a picture.

Wetlands form in between remnant beach dunes formed by Lake Michigan.
An antique bridge at Fischer Creek Park, popular with local artists.
The Fischer Creek Park coastline is lined with rocky beaches.
Outlet of Fischer Creek. Fischer Creek is known to contain lake run salmon and steelhead. Storms on Lake Michigan affect the position of the outlet.

WRM student Kathy Harris performs stream gaging on Fischer Creek.
A field of grass of parnassus, an groundwater seep indicator species.
An interdunal wetland covered in snow.
Outlet of Point Creek. This photo shows how the creeks can be dammed up by gravel bars formed during storm events.

Point Beach State Forest. Bluffs along the Lake Michigan coastline show the effects of high energy wave impacts.
Project advisor Quentin Carpenter and two WRM students, Nicole Sandberg and Stephanie Lindloff, explore a coastal wetland.
Ridge and swale wetland at Point Beach State Forest.
Upstream from the mouth, Fischer Creek is a small, cold, clearwater stream that supports trout and sensitive aquatic insects.

Rolf Johnson (Friends of Fischer Creek) and WRM student Ryszard Zolnik discuss Fischer Creek.
One of the earliest wetland plants to emerge in the spring - skunk cabbage flower in a coastal wetland.
A view into a well formed tussock sedge meadow in winter. Location unknown.
