Farley Center Tour of Prairie Spirit Wildlife Sanctuary

Culture, environmental

Come join the Farley Center for a visit/tour to Prairie Spirit Wildlife Sanctuary in Springdale. Dr. John Barnes established this sanctuary in 2000 and serves as the Director of the Sanctuary, Dr. Barnes has been a long time Farley Center Board Member from the beginning of the Farley Center until August 2016. http://www.wildlifelandtrust.org/sanctuaries/prairie-spirit-wildlife.html

PLEASE MEET PROMPTLY at 11:00 AM on Saturday, August 1 at the Prairie Sprit Wildlife Sanctuary located at 1811 Spring Rose Road.

Dr. Barnes will give a presentation/tour (PLEASE SOCIAL DISTANCE DURING THE OUTDOOR PRESENTATION) and then attendees may stay until 3:00 p.m. to walk about the sanctuary on their own.

“The Prairie Spirit Wildlife Sanctuary is 200 acres of land in Springdale, Wisconsin. The terrain is quite gentle and rolling, with good drainage and deep soils with few outcrops. Most of the property is formerly tilled land that has been restored to tall grass prairie, native to the area. The remaining land is central hardwood forest dominated by oaks and hickories. There also are a few planted softwood stands – spruce and red pine.”

“Three springs form ponds on the property and provide life-sustaining water year-round for the animals who call this place home. More than 130 bird species have been seen at the sanctuary, including chestnut-sided warbler, common yellowthroat, and grasshopper sparrow. White-tailed deer thrive here, along with many varieties of reptiles and amphibians.”

“The sanctuary was established in 2000 by the donation of a conservation easement by Dr. John Barnes. He worked with the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust to ensure that his property would forever remain a safe haven for the wildlife who call it home. As with all land protected by HSWLT conservation easements, recreational and commercial hunting and trapping, as well as destructive logging practices, will always be prohibited.”

Sanctuary: Environmental Land Art at the Farley Center

art, Culture, environmental

The Farley Center presents an art exhibition at the Overture Center.

Artist reception on Friday, Sept. 28 from 6:00-8:00. Enjoy light refreshments and music by WYSO Madison Music Makers while exploring the exhibit and meeting many of the participating artists.

“Sanctuary: Environmental Land Art at the Farley Center” exhibit is a photographic tour of these art installations. It will be on display in the Playhouse Gallery at the Overture Center for the Arts September 7-October 28, 2018.

Using natural materials from the land, area artists were invited to be inspired, expand creative boundaries, play with mystery, initiate surprise, explore and celebrate our connection to the earth. The theme was “Sanctuary” which could be interpreted however the artists chose. Sixteen artists took on the challenge and created a variety of pieces on the outdoor grounds of the Natural Path Sanctuary at the Farley Center near Verona, WI the summer of 2017.

Dave Carlson, Jessica Luer, Betsy Delzer, Drew McCoy, Michael Duffy, Karen Reppen, Patrick Flynn, Cynthia Reynolds, Beverly Gordon, Bobbette Rose, Chris Hindle, Jane Scharer, Lewis Koch, John Scharer, Katrina Kreuger, Sue Schuetz
