Friends of Wilderness Park has forged a new collaboration with the UNL Master Naturalist Program, to offer guided hikes that explore the plant and animals species that thrive in the park, ecosystem function and sustainability, and conservation practices. Master Naturalists Bill Smith and James Hoke will join FWP in hosting the walks in the coming months.  Mark your calendars and check our FB page for starting points and more information.

Friends of Wilderness Park is pleased to announce its 2019 annual member meeting on Sunday, October 20 at the Hub Café, 250 N. 21st Street, in Lincoln. The meeting will begin at 4:30 p.m. and run until about 7:30 p.m. This year’s meeting will feature a keynote by Lincoln native Tayden Bundy, author of “Beyond Lincoln: A History of Nebraska Hauntings.”   Bundy will share stories from  his book, focusing specifically on  the chapter about reported hauntings in Wilderness Park.

The annual meeting is also the time for board elections. This year, members will vote to elect up to two new board members. Members will also hear from Sarah Hartzell with Lincoln Parks and Recreation about the subarea strategic plan, survey results, and the Wilderness Park signage project. Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP on our FB event invitation page.
