Hop on a bus to Monona! 🚌 Madison Metro route

Hop on a bus to Monona! 🚌
Madison Metro route 38 now serves Monona and it’s easier than ever to catch a ride to the Nature Center for a hike. The bus runs from 7am to 7pm with a $2 fare for a regular adult ticket.
The nearest bus stop is at the entrance to Edna Taylor Conservation Park by the Monona Dog Park. From there you can either walk up Femrite to the Nature Center driveway or start your hike through Edna Taylor.

Incorporating the Welcoming Schools Kindness curri

Incorporating the Welcoming Schools Kindness curriculum in their plans this month, the OAKS After-School students made pop up cards to celebrate friendship!
They started the activity by reading a book in small groups in order to pick a quote they like. Many students chose sentences with kind words, such as “You are my family”, “You’re brave and clever”, or “We have a lot in common”
Then, the OAKS picked two colorful pieces of cardstock for their craft. They helped each other decide how to cut, fold, and glue the two pieces of cardstock to create the pop up effect. The last step was to decorate the card and write the quote inside.
Friendship cards are important because they provide a tangible way to express appreciation and care for a friend.
When was the last time you made a card for a loved one?

Today, we are highlighting Wisconsin Women in Cons

Today, we are highlighting Wisconsin Women in Conservation (WiWiC)!
WiWiC’s goal is to empower women to learn about conservation practices, resources, and funding opportunities. The organization connects women of all backgrounds, including farmers, landowners, farm workers, gardeners, urban growers, and conservation professionals, all who share a passion for taking care of soil, water, and wildlife.
Led by the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute in partnership with the Wisconsin Farmers Union, Renewing the Countryside, and Marbleseed, WiWiC is able to cultivate connections, identify resources, and amplify stories of women stewarding the land.
Their webinars, field days, and events are full of opportunities to learn and ways to connect with other women in conservation, throughout the state and beyond.
Learn more at wiwic.org.
