Researcher hopes to raise interest, knowledge of Cedar Lake MARISSA PAYNE, The Gazette FacebookTwitterEmail CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) After slipping on his waders, Danny Hughes emerged from underneath a shelter along the Cedar Lake loop trail and into the sunlight, ready to discover the wildlife that live there. Hughes, a Coe College assistant professor of biology, was on the lookout Saturday for any plant and animal species. Could the day’s walk around the lake lead his team to find turtles, frogs or snakes? The potential for new scientific discoveries propelled Hughes, two Coe College student researchers and a few community members forward on a 1.6-mile journey around the paved trail. Along the way, they checked about 30 boards for snakes, waded into Cedar Lake to check turtle traps and scoured their natural surroundings for any chance encounters of new species.
