Bird & Nature Adventures | Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park

Summer Phenology ~ Join Master Naturalist Jeff Nesta for a free fun family friendly guided nature walk!  We will follow easy walking trails that take you to through the shady woodlands, wetlands and restored prairies alive with new growth, flowers, bees, dragonflies, turtles, and birds.

Each month, year-round we explore the north unit's beautiful trails through the woodlands, wetlands, and restored prairies along the Yahara ‘Catfish’ River.
