Cost $10, Prior registration required Energy Tour = solar + sheep + wind!
Visit 2 utility-scale Renewable Energy generation sites and discover multiple energy education resources during this unique trip coordinated by KEEP and Alliant Energy. We will visit a farm that has on-site solar PV and sheep are integrated into vegetation management. The farm visit coincides with lambing season and will include a visit to the birthing barn. Next, we will visit a wind farm where we will see the control room for turbine operations and we will enter the base of a wind tower. Participants will learn how they can request similar field trips for their classes and KEEP staff will share relevant energy education lessons and kits which are free to Wisconsin teachers.
Must wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. Dress for the weather. We will be outside and walking on uneven surfaces. Please do not wear shoes that have visited any other farm or fair surfaces.
