Event Description

Bird & Nature Adventures Logo

Looking for Ephemerals ~ Join Jeff Niestra for a free, family-friendly guided walk exploring the beautiful trails at Turville Point Conservation Park on Lake Monona.   We will look for Trilliums and other beautiful early Spring Ephemeral wildflowers that take advantage of available sunlight before trees and bushes fully leaf out.  These early flowers provide important sources of nectar for bees before other plants bloom. Try using the Seek app to take a photo and help identify what you see along the trail! Note: Please stay on trails since this is a Conservation Park. 

Walks at Turville Point held on the 2nd Sunday of every month are co-sponsored by Madison Bird City FUN partners, Madison Parks and Friends of Olin Turville. Meet at the Turville Point parking lot, entrance at the E. Olin Ave. stoplight from John Nolen Drive at the railroad tracks, south of Olin Park (not at the boat launch). No registration is required. No pets are allowed.
