Bird & Nature Adventures | Owen

Monarchs and More ~ Join Arboretum Naturalist Sylvia Marek for a guided tour to look for Monarch Butterflies along easy hiking trails in the restored prairies and woodlands at Owen Park that are full of blooming native wildflowers.  These natural areas provide critical habitat for Monarchs and other pollinators. You will learn about some of the butterflies, moths and other insects you see.  

Explore Owen Conservation Park on gentle trails through historic oak openings on a hillside with an Ice Age kettle and along restored prairies with beautiful vistas on this high point overlooking the west side of Madison. Co-sponsored by Madison Parks and the Friends of Owen Conservation Park. Free, family-friendly guided nature walks at Owen Conservation Park are held on the 2nd Saturday of each month, year-round 1:30-3pm. No registration is required. No pets are allowed.
