Chiwaukee Prairie Field Trip

Join Senior Ecologist Don Quintenz and Adult Programs Coordinator Michelle Allison on a hike at one of the most beautiful Wisconsin prairies, Chiwaukee Prairie. It contains exceptional diversity, with more than 400 species of plants. Spring brings the greatest diversity of plants in bloom, and prairie flowers are generally very showy. Portions of the site are classified as calcareous fen, one of the rarest of plant communities. You need to be able to walk on unpaved trails for up to one mile.

The field trip begins and ends at Chiwaukee Prairie. In order to maintain social distancing, you will need to provide your own transportation to and from the prairie. Please bring your own lunch, snacks, and water. There are no restroom facilities available at the prairie. Further details and directions will be emailed to registered participants prior to the trip.

This program will take place entirely outdoors. Please read our current mask policy before participation.
