Sanctuary Guided Hikes: Spring in the Sanctuary

Join a naturalist for an in-depth exploration of The Ridges Sanctuary. We’ll head out on the trails to learn about the history of The Ridges, the unique features of the Sanctuary habitats, and what makes the Sanctuary the most biologically diverse area in Wisconsin!  

Each month’s Sanctuary Guided Hike follows a theme focusing on unique aspects of the Sanctuary. May is a magical time to hike through the Sanctuary! May Guided Hikes will feature sightings of awakening critters such as noisy frogs and spring ephemerals like the Dwarf Lake Iris, blooming in late May. 

This 90-minute, in-depth guided hike includes a tour of our Upper Range Light, which has been restored to the period of the last Range Light Keeper. Suitable for all ages.
