SUMMARY:EMPIRE-SAUK FIELD TRIP
DESCRIPTION:Mounds View Grassland Hike to Explore and Monitor Progress of Prairie Plantings\nSaturday, April 25 – 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.\nLocation: Mounds View Grassland in Barneveld, WI\n\nInspecting prairie plantings shortly after a spring burn is an excellent way to quickly assess how early emerging species are establishing. At this stage, they are easy to detect, and we can estimate numbers before other vegetation emerges and obscures them. Now is a good time to look for shooting star, nodding wild onion, needle-grass, prairie dropseed, sedges, prairie thistle, and all members of the umbel (Apiaceae) family, such as rattlesnake master, golden Alexander, angelic, cow parsnip, and yellow pimpernel.\nThere are many plantings at Mounds View Grassland. We will explore those that were burned this spring. You will learn how to identify these species as they emerge.\n \n\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\nBe prepared for a long walk, much of which will be off trail. Wear long pants and hiking boots/shoes. A hat, water and sunscreen are recommended.\nCONTACT:\nRich Henderson, ( mailto:tpe.rhenderson@tds.net ) 608-235-4165\nDIRECTIONS:\n8624 Reilly Rd, Barneveld. From the intersection of US Hwy 18-151 and County F (south of Blue Mounds in western Dane County), take F approximately 5 miles south. Turn right onto Reilly Road, proceed to parking lot and kiosks at the end of the road (past the barn).  (Note: A half mile down F from 18-151, pay close attention to the road signs, for F turns to the right & the straight-ahead road becomes County Z. Stay on F.)\n\n
