Presentation Equipment for the Boathouse
The Friends of Rock Island secured a matching grant from the Wisconsin Friends of State Parks organization to fund a laptop, projector and projection screen for the park. It will primarily be used by the park naturalist for summer interpretive and nature education programs in the boathouse.
Also funded by the grant was a TV/VCR/DVD Player so that park information and videos about the flora and fauna of the park can be shared with boathouse visitors. It should afford park visitors who cannot make the trip to the Lighthouse or the water tower or the beach, the opportunity to see what the rest of Rock Island looks like.
Since the park was converted to solar power, the use of electronic equipment like this is now feasible in the boathouse.
