Prairie Tour

Saturday, April 27 – 10:00 a.m. 

Location: Stewart Schilling and Michelle Godez Property, Dodgeville & Spring Green

On this tour of the Stewart Schilling and Michelle Godez property, we will see 20+ species of spring ephemerals on their private 6-acre remnant prairie restoration project.  Their property is located in between Dodgeville and Spring Green on the north border of Governor Dodge State Park.

Stewart and Michelle are 4-5 years into this restoration of a steep, rugged, southern aspect oak-hickory savanna (and red pine relict) on the northern edge of Governor Dodge State Park. We’ll hike off-trail to tour the work and see what’s popping up after a fall burn.

DIFFICULTY:

Moderate. Rugged, Steep, Off-trail. Bring sturdy boots and hiking poles.

Bathrooms are available as needed.

Bring a packed lunch to eat afterward while enjoying the birds.
