The June 19 Macbride Nature Recreation Area tour is currently full. Please consider attending a different event or click the sign-up link below to join the waitlist – spots may come open.
The University of Iowa's Macbride Nature Recreation Area (MNRA) is a beautiful 485-acre natural area existing largely undisturbed since pre-settlement that represents one of Iowa's most endangered ecosystems: the White Oak Savanna.
During your visit, MNRA land manager Tamra Elliott will lead you on a nature walk among our old growth trees to learn about what makes this area so rare and special. You'll experience up close interactions with the wildlife that inhabit the area while learning about the university's connection to the area, the natural history of the land, and UI Landscape Services' mission to restore this invaluable resource.
This will be an outdoor event in nature. Please wear appropriate clothing and walking shoes suitable for the weather. Walking will be over uneven paved and unpaved surfaces.
