A Celebration of Trails
June 24, 2023 @ 8:00am–3:00pm
Our two June trail-centric events, Prairie Chase Run/Walk & Trails Day, are teaming up on June 24th for an all-day celebration of the trails of Pheasant Branch Conservancy!
Prairie Chase Run/Walk
8:00-11:30 AM
9th annual Prairie Chase 5K/10K. The 5K route takes participants around the main crushed limestone path through the Conservancy. The 10K route will explore less-frequented corners of the Conservancy, and in 2023 will include trails in Dane County’s newly restored northern parcel.

National Trails Day Festivities

We’ll keep the celebration going into the afternoon with our second annual PBC Trails Day. Family-friendly, inclusive activities including: Madison Reading Project’s Big Red Book Bus, Pollinator Week info and activities, kite-flying demonstrations, and hands-on nature exploration and crafts, will be headquartered at Orchid Heights Park. Naturalists will be leading short nature hikes from Orchid Heights to the Pheasant Branch Springs, up Frederick’s Hill, and along the new Listening Trail.
