Wildflower Walks at Moraine Hills led by Stacy Iwanicki, the park naturalist for both Moraine Hills State Park and Volo Bog,

was a popular and very educational program at the Park. Now the walks have been expanded to Volo Bog as well, but they

are now called Moraine Meanders and Bog Saunters, and cover all aspects of nature.  At Volo Bog walks are scheduled for the

first Saturday of odd months, and the first Sunday of even months. At Moraine Hills it is the fourth Saturday of every month.
