Frog and bug hop with Naturalist Guide Mary Binkley ~ Join School Naturalist Mary Binkley for a free family-friendly outing or take a healthy nature walk on your own any day in July to look for frogs, toads, beetles, and bugs hopping along the trails. How does the world look to them?  Where do they live and over-winter as they grow into adults?

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.
