Bird & Nature Adventures | Tenney Park

Spring Buds and Birds ~ Join Naturalist Paul Noeldner for a free family friendly guided walk to look for buds ready to burst on bushes and trees, bright red and black Cardinals and Redwing  Blackbirds singing sweet songs to establish nesting territories and attract mates, colorful noisy migratory ducks on the water and other signs of Spring!  Did you know every cell in a new leaf is already formed tiny in the bud?  They wait for the right mix of sunny days to pump up with sap and spring into action!

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.
