Beating the Heat ~ Join Naturalist Alex Singer for a free fun family friendly guided nature walk!  Enjoy the cool woods and natural areas and learn how trees, plants, and animals adapt to deal with heat and draught.  We will follow easy walking trails that take you to through the shady woodlands, wetlands and restored prairies.

Cherokee Marsh is Madison’s largest conservation park with three units – North, South, and Mendota. Each month, year-round we explore the north unit’s beautiful trails through the woodlands, wetlands, and restored prairies along the Yahara ‘Catfish’ River. Co-sponsored by Madison Parks, Friends of Cherokee Marsh , Sierra Club and Madison Audubon Society . Follow North Sherman Ave. to the parking lot at the end of the gravel entrance road. Free, family-friendly guided nature walks at Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park – North are held on the 1st Sunday of each month, year-round 1:30-3pm. No registration is required. No pets are allowed.
