The Presentation:

Have you ever wanted to walk along the Ice Age Trail? Have you ever wondered how the Kettle Moraine was formed? Find the answer to these questions by experiencing and enjoying Wisconsin’s own Ice Age National Scenic Trail!

The IAT is a 1,200 mile footpath found entirely within the state of Wisconsin. It is one of only eleven National Scenic Trails in the country. This Trail traverses through some of the state’s most beautiful natural areas and winds through 30 counties on state, federal, county and private lands. Each year, more than 2.3 million people walk, hike, saunter, snowshoe, and backpack on the Ice Age Trail . Outdoor lovers of all ages and abilities step out on the Ice Age Trail to relax, explore and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

Join “Thousand-Miler” and active Ice Age Trail Alliance Chapter volunteer, Diana Matthews for this introductory presentation. Come learn about the IAT — its history and glacial features. Learn tips and tricks for spending time on the IAT. Leave with plenty of resources to have a safe and successful journey. Whether hiking or sauntering, be inspired for adventures on the Trail!

Details:

This presentation will take place at the Brookfield Public Library, and is free and open to the public.
