The University of Wisconsin Arboretum is famous throughout the world. It has hundreds of acres of prairie, woodlands, marshes, ponds, and lakes. Walking through the arboretum you find many plant communities, including 200 varieties of lilacs and crab apples. Many small mammals live there, and during migration time birds find a place to rest. If you enjoy biking, hiking, jogging, cross-country skiing, or nature, it's a fine place to visit.
