CANCELED: Bird & Nature Outings

A message from Madison Parks: As you may have heard, Public Health Madison & Dane County released an update to the Forward Dane Plan. Under the revised plan, mass outdoor gatherings are reduced to no more than 25 people. Given the program’s popularity with many Outings yielding nearly or more than 100 participants, we have determined all guided Outings for July are canceled. We plan to reevaluation the situation after July 15 to determine our plan for August and beyond.
