The American bullfrog is the largest frog species in North America and is known for its deep, booming call that echoes through wetlands on warm summer evenings. Keep an eye out for these impressive amphibians near the water at Three Waters Reserve! 🌿💧..

Wild lupine is putting on a beautiful display at Three Waters Reserve right now!🪻

These vibrant native flowers are covering the prairie in shades of purple and drawing in pollinators throughout the landscape. Lupine is one of the standout blooms of late spring, and we are soaking in this colorful moment while it lasts.

If you’re visiting the Reserve, now is a wonderful time to catch the prairie in bloom! 🌿

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝🌼

Bees are some of the hardest working pollinators in our ecosystems, helping native plants, wildflowers, and many of the foods we rely on thrive. Yet many bee species are facing serious population declines due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change.

By protecting native habitats and planting diverse native flowers, we can help support healthy pollinator populations right here in Southern Wisconsin. 💛

Today, we celebrate the tiny pollinators making a big impact on the health of our ecosystems.

This we’re excited to share a moment captured during last week’s trail walk following our Behind the Lens Lunch & Learn!

This photogenic thirteen-lined ground squirrel paused mid-snack, leaf in mouth, front paws tucked together, and stared right into the camera like a natural model! A perfect reminder of the small, special wildlife moments you can find out on the trail. 🐿️
