SUMMARY:Nature Passport Season
DESCRIPTION:It’s officially Nature Passport season! \nMadison\, WI – This year\, Nature Net is revamping its renowned Nature Passport to make the most of your summer outdoor adventures! Whether you’re discovering hidden gems or completing simple missions\, the updated Nature Passport ensures that you make the most of all that these incredible locations have to offer! Nature Net is also a proud supporter of the Nature Everywhere Initiative—so whether you’re visiting a Nature Net site or exploring your local park\, be sure to get outside and connect with the nature around you! \nThe Nature Passport is a free and self-guided activity journal inviting children and their families to visit the various Nature Net sites and spend time engaging with the natural world. Each site has a list of activities for kids to complete along with further information about the location. Families may work to complete as many of the nature missions as they can\, or they may simply use their Passport as inspiration for their own adventures. Offered in both English and Spanish\, Nature Passports are available at Nature Net sites and local libraries from now to the end of summer. Each site has something truly unique to explore\, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and explore! \nWith a mix of indoor attractions like the Madison Children’s Museum and Cave of the Mounds\, and stunning outdoor spots such as Cherokee Marsh and the UW–Madison Arboretum\, there’s always somewhere to explore no matter the weather! Nature Net Director\, Betsy Parker\, notes that\, “the Nature Passport has always been one of my favorite programs we offer. It can be hard for families to stay creative with activities throughout the summer\, so I love that we can provide a pocket-sized tool that inspires adventure and connects people with our local natural and cultural resources.” \nNature Net is a program of the Aldo Leopold Nature Center and works to get families and educators outdoors. This year’s Nature Passport is offered as a free resource thanks to support from Wild Birds Unlimited and printing via Images Plus. Additionally\, the UW-Madison Latin American\, Caribbean\, and Iberian Studies Program (LACIS) assisted in creating the Spanish language version of the Passport. If you would like to get more involved and keep the Nature Passport going for the next generation of environmental stewards\, donations are accepted at naturenet.org.

SUMMARY:Pendarvis General Admission
DESCRIPTION:Pendarvis General Admission: \nTucked in a scenic valley at the heart of historic Mineral Point\, Pendarvis serves as a collection of 19th-century limestone and log buildings and structures that tell the story of the very first Wisconsin “badgers.” As you embark on an hour-long tour through the site\, your guide will unpack the history of the Cornish mining community that built and inhabited Pendarvis\, as well as the lives of Bob Neal and Edgar Hellum—the progressive couple who in the early 20th century worked tirelessly to salvage and restore the location to its original state. Visit these 1840s buildings and learn how humble Cornish cottages were transformed into a nationally famous restaurant and tourist destination. Wander the ground’s gardens and terraces and explore a series of hiking trails that weave atop the Merry Christmas Mine Hill and the surrounding prairie\, which served as a lead and zinc mining hub in centuries past. \nThis information is detailed on the event ticketing page for this event. \nDates and Hours:\nMay 29 – October 12\, 2025\, | Thursday – Sunday | 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.\nTours at 10:30 a.m.\, 12:00 p.m.\, 1:30 p.m.\, 3:00 p.m. (Capacity is limited for each tour time).\nPendarvis is closed Thursday\, July 4\, 2025.
