Madison's Natural Treasures: From Mountains to Streams to Quarries
Tuesday, August 5, 2025 6 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
Join Jim Chamberlain and Bill Heslip, of Madison Greenways and Trails, for a tour of three of Madison's wonderful natural areas.
- Established mountain hiking area in the east of town.
- New preserve taking shape in the center of town with streams and springs. This area is ideally located for a new greenway to connect east and west.
- Area with great potential for walking and biking trails in the south of town.
Jim will describe Madison Greenways and Trails' vision for these critically needed public preserves and review the city's plans in the city master plan. Bill will give us a bird's eye view of these beautiful areas with his amazing documentary and drone footage.
