Bird & Nature Adventures | Tenney Park

Seeing the Small Stuff ~ Join Naturalist Julie Melton for a fun family friendly stroll to enjoy nature in early fall at beautiful Tenney Park by Lake Mendota.  Learn about some of the small things hidden in nature all around us. Help look for bushy bearded acorns from a burr oak, the many colors of autumn leaves, and spheres 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.
