The Ridges Sanctuary

Leader: Marilyn Hein & Mike Madden 

Join the Door County Land Trust staff for an inspiring exploration of Bear Creek—the Land Trust’s newest nature preserve! This 75-acre gem in Southern Door was once a working dairy farm, but today its rolling grasslands and forested wetlands offer sweeping vistas and an atmosphere of quiet wildness. On this guided exploration, you’ll hear the stories hidden in its natural history, and learn about the restoration and conservation projects shaping its future. Field trip will cover approximately 1.5 miles of trail over uneven ground in open fields, forest, with one steep decline/incline and other smaller gradual hills. Suitable for ages 16 & up.
