Benedict Prairie is a unique remnant located along a right-of-way on the old Kenosha-Silver Lake-Beloit branch of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. The original vegetation is described by UW-Milwaukee Professor Philip Whitford in this pamphlet. Participants should wear layers, sturdy boots, work gloves, and eye protection (sunglasses or safety glasses). Water is also recommended.

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: easy-medium; level but uneven terrain

All experience levels are welcome, including absolute beginners, and you can leave early if you need to (but please arrive at the beginning when orientation and instruction are provided). We’ll provide training and gear as needed.
