Life is Outdoors in Mercer, Wisconsin

From the vast water wonderland of the 14,300 acre Turtle Flambeau Flowage to the far-reaching wilderness of the 74,500 acres of public forestland, Mercer offers authentic outdoor adventures that you will remember long after you’ve returned home.

Whether you choose to explore on snowmobile, ATV, car, camper, bike, boat, skis, or by foot, you are sure to discover the unending, unique fascination of the Northwoods.

Every season offers a new way to experience our natural beauty. The quiet of winter snow is broken by the sounds of spring peepers that fade as the loon’s calls fill the lakes in the summer. Finally, the woods explode in a riot of color in autumn and then the cycle begins again. That’s the beauty of Mercer.  You can’t go wrong . . .  life is outdoors.

Felted Dryer Ball Workshop with Darcy Lanz-Sage
Feb 28 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

Show us your creativity at workshops featuring natural materials, methods, and themes. An opportunity to learn new skills and techniques from expert instructors in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Join Darcy Lanz-Sage in this workshop where you will make your own decorative, 100% wool, eco-friendly dryer balls. Fabric softeners and dryer sheets can be harmful to you and to the environment. An alternative method to softening your clothes is to use 100% Wool Dryer Balls. Dryer balls have the added benefit of drying your clothes a bit faster; thus, reducing the amount of electricity used!

All materials provided. Participants will leave with 2 sets (of 3) decorative dryer balls, which is a great value! They make wonderful gifts!!

Registration is required by 2/26/25.  Friday 9:00 am – 12:00 pm.  $45/Non-Member and $40/Member.  Participants will meet in the Forest Room in the Nature Hall at the Discovery Center.
