Autumn Traces of Nature with Tom Murn ~ Tom Murn has been helping lead walks and preserve Cherokee Marsh for about 38 years.  Join Tom to explore nature trails through the woodlands, hills, wetlands and restored prairies and look for migratory birds, prairie plants going to seed and other signs of nature changing with the seasons. 

Cherokee Marsh is Madison’s largest conservation park with three units - North, South and Mendota. Each month, year-round we explore the north unit's beautiful trails through the woodlands, wetlands and restored prairies along the Yahara ‘Catfish’ River. Co-sponsored by Madison Parks, Friends of Cherokee Marsh and Madison Audubon Society. Follow North Sherman Ave. to the parking lot at the end of the gravel entrance road. Free, family-friendly guided nature walks at Cherokee Marsh Conservation Park – North are held on the 1st Sunday of each month, year-round 1:30-3pm. No registration required. No pets are allowed.
