This event is postponed. Please stay tuned for information about rescheduling!
Join us for a fun, accessible, and inclusive summertime outing through Cherokee Marsh! Access Ability Wisconsin will bring several of their Outdoor Wheelchairs (OWCs), designed to allow individuals with mobility challenges to explore the outdoors independently and safely. Nature is for everybody, and every body!
We’ll meet at the Cherokee Marsh North parking lot near the trailhead (43°10'01.6"N 89°21'53.1"W) around 9:30am. We’ll say hello, AAW’s team will demonstrate how to use the OWCs, and we’ll have a guided bird tour with Madison Audubon and the Friends of Cherokee Marsh.
Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated in addition to sun and bug protection; feel free to bring a camera, binoculars, and/or field guide. We will also have binoculars available to borrow.
