Explore 300 acres of restored wetlands and lush forest at the beautiful Walking Iron Wildlife Area just north of Mazomanie. Hike for up to 2-miles on flat berms around the edges of the wetland area. Amateur botanists will relish the chance to get off the beaten trail and trod through the wetlands themselves.
Groundswell transferred the 870 acres that contain Walking Iron to Dane County in 2009. Since then, the county, in partnership with Ducks Unlimited and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has transformed a large portion into wetland, with ambitious plans to do even more. James Brodzeller, Dane County’s watershed coordinator, will serve as our expert tour guide.
Registration for this event will open in May.
