The Wild Ones Kettle Moraine Chapter: Native Plants, Natural Landscapes,  presents:

Laurie Yahr, a long-time Wild Ones member and Madison Chapter newsletter writer and her wildlife biologist husband, Rich Kahl, have been searching for interesting plants in natural areas at every opportunity. The aim of this program is to share some of the beauty and diversity of orchid flowers so you might recognize one if you come across it. There are almost 50 species of terrestrial orchids in Wisconsin; most are elusive, rare, in trail-less habitats, or just plain tiny and cryptic. Having an accurate search image is only half the battle.  There is also timing, appropriate ecosystem and luck.  Occasionally orchids occur unexpectedly in violation of all the rules.  But sadly, more often they seem to be disappearing from our landscapes.

WHERE:  South Kettle Moraine State Forest Headquarters, Eagle, S91W39091 Highway 59, One mile west of Eagle, on Highway 59
