Bird & Nature Adventures | Cherokee Marsh, North

Wildflower Wander. Join Naturalists Mary BInkley and Sheila Leary for an educational guided walk at Cherokee Marsh.  Enjoy seeing beautiful blooming prairie, woodland and wetland plants of all shapes and sizes at their peak bloom!  Learn how to identify some of the wildflowers you see. Summer in the marsh can be cooler than the city and we will enjoy the shade of willow, open grown oak and the lowland forest.  You'll be amazed what's happening in the lazy days of summer: nesting birds, frogs, dragonflies. 

Cherokee Marsh is Madison’s largest conservation park with three units - North, South, and Mendota. Each month, year-round we explore the north unit's beautiful trails through the woodlands, wetlands, and restored prairies along the Yahara ‘Catfish’ River. Co-sponsored by Madison Parks, Friends of Cherokee Marsh, and Sierra Club.  Follow North Sherman Ave. to the parking lot at the end of the gravel entrance road. Free, family-friendly guided nature walks at Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park – North are held on the 1st Sunday of each month, year-round 1:30-3pm. No registration is required. No pets are allowed.
