Train Ride in the Tiffany Wildlife Area - May 16th

May 16 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Event Description: Board an antique open-air train and ride into the most remote areas of the Tiffany Wildlife Area! Enjoy stops with short hikes into floodplain forests, savannas, and prairies with views of the Chippewa River while you learn about ecology, land protection, and history of the area.

Mid-May is the peak of spring migration. Birds will be brightly attired, active, and vocal throughout the day. With luck, we’ll see newly arrived resident species, as well as birds headed to Canada to raise the next generation of boreal migrants.

Children are welcome, however, the educational content will be for an adult audience. No seatbelts are provided in the antique open-air train cars. Although we love our furry friends, please leave your dog at home for this group event.
