Join us for a series of naturalist-led hikes on the landscape that inspired Frank Lloyd Wright. These hikes will highlight southwestern Wisconsin’s geology, flora, and fauna as you take in the fresh air and scenic views. As Mike and Grace guide folks through the trail system developed on the estate, come along with us and learn why these are such an important piece of the estate and public access. We work in concert with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation—to turn back the hands of time so the woodlands, oak savannas, and prairies can once again thrive.
Please wear hiking and weather-appropriate clothing, and bring a water bottle and bug spray. The hike will go out rain or shine.
