SUMMARY:EMPIRE-SAUK: FLOWERS AND BIRDS OF SCHURCH-THOMSON PRAIRIE
DESCRIPTION:Flowers and Birds of Schurch-Thomson Prairie\nSaturday, June 27 – 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.\nLocation: Schurch-Thomson Prairie in Barneveld, WI\n\nCome see upland prairies rich with early summer prairie flowers such as pale-purple coneflower, wild quinine, white wild indigo, white prairie clover, and others that should be in bloom. The preserve is a sea remnant prairie and CRP grassland being restored back to prairie. It is teaming with grassland birds such as bobolinks, meadowlarks, grasshopper sparrows, upland sandpipers, and Henslow’s sparrows, so bring binoculars. Schurch-Thomson Prairie is part of The Prairie Enthusiast’s 830-acre Mounds View Grassland preserve. \nDIFFICULTY: Be prepared for a long hike, some off trail and steep slopes. \nWHAT TO BRING:\nWe recommend long pants, sturdy shoes, a hat, water and sunscreen. Bring binoculars if you have them.\nTRIP LEADER:\nContact Rich Henderson (tpe.rhenderson@tds.net ( mailto:tpe.rhenderson@tds.net )) or (608) 845-7065.\nLOCATION:\nAddress is 8624 Reilly Road, 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 and 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
