Bird & Nature Adventures | Turville Point
Event Description
Looking for Ephemerals ~ Join Naturalist Alex Singer or take a walk on your own to look for Spring Ephemerals at Turville Point. Trilliums and other beautiful early wildflowers take advantage of available sunlight before trees and bushes fully leaf out and provide important sources of nectar for bees before other plants bloom. Try using the Seek app to take a photo and help identify what you see along the trail!
Follow rolling hiking paths through the Turville Point Conservation Park woodlands and prairie with beautiful vistas of Lake Monona and Monona Bay. Walks at Turville Point held on the 2nd Sunday every month are co-sponsored by Madison Bird City FUN partners, Madison Parks, Badgerland Bird Alliance, Friends of Olin Turville, and Madison Audubon Society. Meet at the Turville Point parking lot, entrance at the E. Olin Ave. stoplight from John Nolen Drive at the railroad tracks, south of Olin Park (not at the boat launch). No registration is required. No pets are allowed.
