Morning at Bohn Farms Glacial Habitat Restoration Area and In-Lieu Fee Restoration Site

Description

Join the Winnebago Audubon and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for a morning outing at Bohn Farms Glacial Habitat Restoration Area. This area is in the third year of restoration efforts – transforming a drained agricultural landscape into high-quality wetland habitat. This state-owned property includes more than 120 acres of prairie, woodland, and ephemeral ponds. This field trip will take us across the western section of the property in search of pollinating insects, grassland birds and prairie fauna. There are no defined trails on this property. The estimated walking distance is about 1 mile; the terrain may be uneven, wet and muddy depending on weather conditions. Knee boots are strongly recommended.   

Directions: From Oshkosh, take Hwy 41 North to Hwy 45 North. Take the Highway 116/County Rd GG exit toward Winneconne. Turn left onto County Rd GG/Hwy 116 South. Follow Hwy 116 through and out of Winneconne until you reach County Road D. Turn right on County Road D. Travel approximately 7 miles and then turn right on County Rd B. We will meet in the parking area off to the right adjacent to Welsch Rd. Please Park in the parking area or along Welsch Rd. where it is safe and reasonable to do so.
