Upcoming dates:

"Turville Tree Walk," Sunday, May 9:  Join Master Naturalist Tree Expert Sean Gere for a free fun family friendly outing or take a healthy nature walk any day in May at Turville Point to look at the beautiful budding trees and learn about them!  Use an app like SEEK to identify trees by taking pictures of leaves, branches, and bark. See http://tinyurl.com/MadisonFUNAdventures for Fun Facts and Activities about Trees and Tree ID. Can you identify an Oak? A Hackberry? A Shagbark Hickory?  All of these native trees offer wonderful seeds for food and habitat for bugs that are the base of the food chain, and all the native Wisconsin birds and animals that depend on them. What kinds of trees can you find?  Post your comments and pictures on the Friends of Olin-Turville (FOOT) Facebook page.
