Event Sign-Up

Join us for free guided tours of the UW-Whitewater Prairie & Nature Preserve, and through historic arboretums and gardens on the Whitewater campus this year! UW-Whitewater Continuing Education is pleased to partner with the UW-Whitewater Sustainability Office to offer these tours throughout the growing season. Wes Enterline, UW-Whitewater’s sustainability coordinator, will lead the tours.

All tours are free with registration and open to the public. These are walking tours at a slow pace throughout the course of the time allotted, unless otherwise noted in the descriptions. All tours are held rain or shine, unless severe weather watches or warnings are issued the day of the event. Tour participant numbers are limited to make sure everyone has an interactive experience. Walk-up registrations are not accepted and anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. 

UW-Whitewater Nature Preserve Tours

Over 100 acres on the Whitewater campus’s northeastern border are being restored and actively managed as a native prairie and woodland. You will learn more about native plant species found in prairie and savanna ecosystems as well as the history and future development dreams for the UW-Whitewater Nature Preserve.
