Baird Creek hike Saturday

Now that spring has finally sprung — or some semblance of the season, anyway — why not take a hike Saturday at Christa McAuliffe Park? Associate Professor of Natural and Applied Sciences Mathew Dornbush will lead the Saturday wilderness walk, set to begin at 1 p.m. This Spring Wildflower Hike, offered by the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation, will teach participants about everything from marsh marigolds to “skunk cabbage” and the rest of the wonderful wildflowers that lie hidden throughout our frigid Wisconsin winters.
