SUMMARY:EMPIRE-SAUK: SHOOTING STAR BONANZA AT HAUSER ROAD PRAIRIE
DESCRIPTION:Shooting Star Bonanza at Hauser Road Prairie\nSaturday, May 23 – 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.\nLocation: Hauser Road Prairie in Waunakee, WI\nThe Hauser Road Prairie, just north of Waunakee, harbors tens of thousands of shooting stars (Dodecatheon meadia). Join us for a walk on this 45-acre remnant prairie (formerly lightly pastured) to revel in the show display. In addition to the shooting stars, the site has more than 230 native prairie plant species, including heart-leaved golden alexanders, hoary puccoon, and bird’s-foot violet that should be in bloom at the same time. Over ten years of restoration have greatly improved the site, which now provides habitat for 26 state-listed species. Occupying the highest point in the township, the prairie has held special significance for more than a century. The second road in the state passes through the eastern portion of the property, and from its summit, a glorious view of the state capital is visible.\nWHAT TO BRING:\nSunscreen, bugspray, sunglasses, hat, binoculars and anything else to be comfortable on this walk.\nCONTACT:\nContact Randy Hoffman with questions at (608) 216-3136 or curlew@hotmail.com ( mailto:curlew@hotmail.com ).\nLOCATION:\nMeet along Hauser Road, located north of Waunakee. Take Hwy 113 north from the intersection with Hwy 19 for 2.5 miles, then make a right turn on Madigan Road, then another right onto Hauser Road. Park on the shoulder near the crest of the hill.\n
