In the Field: University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, Madison, WI

August 11, 2022 @ 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM

$235

Presenters: Susan Carpenter, Michael Hansen, Darrel Morrison, & Larry Weaner
9 AM – 4:30 PM CT
Our visit will begin at the Darrel Morrison-designed Native Plant Garden. This 4-acre planting provides a masterfully designed miniaturization of the prairie and savanna landscapes we will explore later in the day. These will include the 73-acre Curtis Prairie and the 47-acre Green Prairie, two of the most renowned achievements in the history of ecological restoration. There we will conduct an in-depth examination of how these stunning prairie landscapes were conceived, planted, and managed. We will also visit the Wingra Oak Savanna, a rare, never-plowed remnant where we will study its composition, structure, and dynamics.
Fee: $235
The session will be held entirely outdoors, attendance is limited.
