Bird & Nature Adventures | Cherokee Marsh, North

Let It Be An Oak with Kathlean Wolf ~ Oaks are our best trees for supporting all kinds of wildlife. Join Naturalist Kathlean Wolf for a free family friendly nature hike to look at and learn about oaks on trails that wind through beautiful oak opening woodlands.  Did you know 70% of birds in Wisconsin would be unable to feed their babies without the help of oak trees?  Or that the tannins in oak leaves are the key to protecting amphibians and insects in oak woodlands?  Based on the research of Dr. Doug Tallamy, come learn why.
