Bird & Nature Adventures | Turville Point

January 12 @ 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM

Free

Snowflakes and Subnivians ~ Join Naturalist Andria Blattner with FOOT Friends of Olin Turville on a guided walk to discover the magic of winter at Turville Point.  Learn how snowflakes form and why snow is important to plants and animals over winter.  We will look for signs of subnivians – creatures that dwell beneath the snow!  Enjoy the beautiful trails and views across Lake Monona to downtown Madison.  Dress warm.  We may have a campfire with hot cocoa and smores after the walk.

Follow rolling hiking paths through the Turville Point Conservation Park woodlands and prairie with beautiful vistas of Lake Monona and Monona Bay. Walks at Turville Point held on the 2nd Sunday 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.
