Kemp Natural Resources Station is a research and teaching facility operated by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences of the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Located in the heart of Wisconsin’s Northwoods, Kemp Station’s 231 acres support some of the last remnants of old-growth forest in the Lake States. Several other distinct ecosystems are found on site, including:

--second-growth forests of hemlock, pine, and northern hardwoods
--lake coves
--bogs and one bog lake
--over one mile of shoreline along Tomahawk Lake

This varied environment supports a diverse wildlife population of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and invertebrate, making Kemp Station uniquely suited as a center for natural resources research and education.
