Bird & Nature Adventures | Tenney Park

Seeing the Small Stuff ~ Join Naturalist Julie Melton for a fun family friendly easy nature hike to look for and learn about the small things in nature all around us, like bushy bearded acorns from a burr oak, the many colors of autumn leaves, and the tiny balls that form on stems of native plants with insect larvae tucked safely inside waiting through winter for Spring. 

See the Wild Tenney on Facebook for more info and post your pictures and comments!  Free, welcoming, healthy, fairly accessible, family and kid friendly, educational, no pets.  Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.  Nature-expert guided walks in Tenney Park along Lake Mendota and the Yahara River Parkway bike path through the Madison Isthmus are free, family-friendly and held the first Saturday of each month, from 1:30-3pm.
