EMPIRE-SAUK FIELD TRIP
Prairie Walk at Mounds View Grassland
Tuesday, May 20 – 9:00 a.m. to Noon
Location: Mounds View Grassland in Barneveld, WI
Come hike into Schurch-Thomson Prairie and other parts of The Prairie Enthusiasts’ Mounds View Grassland. An abundance of shootings stars and other spring flowers will be in display. There will be opportunities to enjoy many species of grassland and savanna birds, butterflies, and bumblebees.
WHAT TO BRING:
Be prepared for a long hike (some off trail) and bring binoculars (the closer they can focus the better for butterfly and bee viewing).

DIRECTIONS:
Address 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 the parking lot and kiosks at the end of the road (pass 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.)
