Good Native Plants ~ Join Naturalist Robin Kling for a free welcoming family-friendly guided walk  to look for and learn about native trees and plants at Tenney Park. The Tenney Lagoon borders and other areas are being restored with more native plants for pollinators, birds and wildlife.  Native plants also have many human benefits. Long before synthetic drugs were created to combat illness and disease native plants provided chemical compounds used by healers and physicians to deal with heart disease, vitamin deficiencies and to fight bacterial infections.

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 2:30-4pm. The walk begins at the Tenney Beach parking lot, 1330 Sherman Avenue. No registration is required. No pets are allowed. Co-sponsored by Madison FUN Friends of Urban Nature, Madison Parks, Badgerland Bird Alliance Madison Audubon Society, Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association  and Friends of the Yahara River Parkway
