Blue Mounds State Park naturalist Tiffany Muellner will lead hikers on a “Wildlife Mamas and Babies Hike” Saturday morning, beginning at the park’s picnic area.
The hike begins at 9 a.m.
“It’s one of those programs that’s really going to vary,” Muellner said.
Center to the hike will be viewing more than a dozen bison babies and the rest of the herd.
The hike could be long or short, depending on where the herd is in the large pasture area.
“Wherever the bison are, we are going to walk to them,” she said. “We’ll see how close we can get to them.”
Along the way, periodic stops will lead to discussions about the challenges wildlife have raising their young on the prairie.
The main focus will be about the bison calves and how they are raised to adulthood at the park.
“I’ve allotted two hours for the hike,” she said.
Depending on questions, the hike could be shorter or longer than planned.
