SUMMARY:EMPIRE-SAUK: PRAIRIE HIKE AT MOUNDS VIEW GRASSLAND
DESCRIPTION:Prairie Hike at Mounds View Grassland\nSunday, July 5 – 9:00 a.m. to Noon\nLocation: Mounds View Grassland in Barneveld, WI\n\nCome for a morning hike across The Prairie Enthusiast’s 830-acre Mounds View Grassland preserve. We will see the progress being made in bringing back to life degraded remnant prairies, converting non-native cool-season grass to prairie, renovating streams, wetlands, and seeps, and planting agricultural fields to prairie. We will be encountering rich displays of early summer prairie flowers such as pale-purple coneflower, wild quinine, white wild indigo, white prairie clover, leadplant, Coreopsis, and others. Along the way will also have the opportunity to observe many uncommon grassland birds such as bobolinks, meadowlarks, grasshopper sparrows, upland sandpipers, and Henslow’s sparrows, as well as butterflies and bumblebees. \nDIFFICULTY: Be prepared for a long hike (some off trail) and occasionally steep slopes.\n \n\n\nWHAT TO BRING:\nBring water, hat, sun screen, long pants, and binoculars.\nCONTACT:\nRich Henderson, ( mailto:tpe.rhenderson@tds.net ) 608-845-7065\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
