Noblet Field Station was home to another hardy group of high school students attending Michigan Tech’s Summer Youth Program Exploration: Aquatic Ecology at Gratiot Lake. The students and teachers spent five days in July exploring lake, creek, and beaver pond ecology, while enjoying a rustic stay at the Noblet Field Station.
