The Chappee Rapids Audubon Society built the walking trails and the footbridge in the Harmony Hardwoods Memorial Forest where good birding opportunities exist. Walking into these woods is like walking back into time. There are trees here that managed to escape the Great Peshtigo Fire in 1871 that burned 1.2 million acres in Northeastern Wisconsin. A guided tour of these majestic hardwoods is held annually - the Wildflower Tour in early May showcases the spring wildflowers that bloom early before leaf-out and carpet the forest floor. Join wildflower enthusiasts to learn more about these interesting and short-lived spring flower species. There are trail markers and a corresponding brochure to guide visitors around the nature trail. Come out and take a relaxing walk through nature!
