Event Link

Board an antique open-air train and ride into the most remote areas of the Tiffany Wildlife Area with Landmark Conservancy. Enjoy stops with short hikes into floodplain forests, savannas, and prairies with views of the Chippewa River while you learn about ecology, land protection, and history of the area.

Mid-May is the peak of spring migration. Birds will be brightly attired, active, and vocal throughout the day. With luck, the group will see newly arrived resident species, as well as birds headed to Canada to raise the next generation of boreal migrants.

Children are welcome, however, the educational content will be for an adult audience. No seatbelts are provided in the antique open-air train cars.
