Wisdom Prairie Summer Tour 2026

Join us Jul. 23 for the annual Wisdom Prairie Summer Tour – one of four free, guided seasonal prairie tours at Holy Wisdom Monastery, one of the most peaceful places near Madison, WI.

Whether you’re an experienced nature enthusiast looking to discover a new trail with a beautiful view of Lake Mendota and the Wisconsin State Capitol, seeking to deepen your relationship with this land or wanting to add more grounding, outdoor activities to your mental wellness routine, there will be something for you on this unique tour!

Environmental education on each guided nature walk will be tailored to the trails you visit and what you encounter along the way.

Frequent tour topics include:

• Native prairie plants and pollinators
• Butterflies, birds and wildlife habitats
• Oak savanna and wetland ecology
• Wisconsin seasonal changes
• Environmental stewardship and local history
• Mindfulness and connection with the natural world

We hope you will join us for this restorative outdoor experience and that our local bird watchers and hikers in attendance will find their new favorite spot at Holy Wisdom Monastery! Slow down, reconnect with nature and discover one of Middleton’s most beautiful outdoor spaces by signing up today.
