Swenson Bluffs Preserve Field Trip

Saturday, August 15 – 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Location: Swenson Bluffs Preserve in Arena, WI

The Agaski unit of Swenson Bluffs Preserve is coming along nicely. The upper CRP field is amazing, and the lower 12-acre field has been planted to prairie. The endangered pale false foxglove (Agalinis skinneriana) should be blooming along with many other plants in these remnant bluff prairies.

DIFFICULTY: There will be a challenging hill climb with steep hillsides. Sturdy boots are required.

WHAT TO BRING:
We recommend long pants, sturdy shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and water.
