Creating Sanctuaries for Wildlife with Jenn Schneiderman ~ Join Master Naturalist and part-time poet Paul Noeldner for a leisurely family-friendly walk on beautiful Tenney Park following easy paths by the lake, along the canal, and around the lagoon. We will stop at arched stone bridges and other scenic spots to share inspiring readings from Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac and other beloved nature writers and warm up with hot chocolate by the fireplace in the big shelter. Bring your favorite short nature reading or poem to share - perhaps something you wrote!  

Enjoy nature in Tenney Park along Lake Mendota and the Yahara River Parkway bike path through the Madison Isthmus! Free, family-friendly walks at Tenney Park are held the first Saturday of each month, from 2:30-4pm and begin at the Tenney Beach parking lot, 1330 Sherman Avenue. No registration required. No pets are allowed. Co-sponsored by Madison FUN Friends of Urban Nature, Madison Parks, Madison Audubon Society, Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood Association and Friends of the Yahara River Parkway.
