Trees, trees, trees! Come celebrate Arbor Day at the Mound with a lovely hike through our forests discussion the arboreal giants that live among us. This is an outdoor activity and we will be hiking on and off trail so be sure to bring sturdy hiking boots and weather appropriate clothing.

Story lives in place. In this Native Lands Tour we'll travel to a number of sites around Fayette, Iowa where the Ho-Chunk were forced during the so-called "neutral ground" period of the 19th century.

Birds, bugs, and beauty galore! Find all this and more at the Mound this spring season. Come join us to hike and learn all about forest ecology in our little slice of the Driftless.
