Be careful out there Tuesday 8/10/21 looks to be a doozy

Warm temperatures in the upper 80s and lower 90s will combine with a very humid air mass to produce dangerous conditions Tuesday afternoon. Widespread heat index values are expected to be in 100 to 105 degree range with the potential for values to approach 110 degrees across portions of south central Wisconsin.

What's that - Riveredge Nature Center has a cactus?! Multiple cacti, even?!

It's true, the Prickly Pear (Opuntia humifusa) is a cactus listed as Threatened in Wisconsin and which we have flourishing at Riveredge. More commonly seen in western Wisconsin, some of our sandier, farming-degraded soil hilltops with complete sunlight appeared to provide suitable habitat for these uncommon species, and a couple of decades after planting they're still here doing well.

These prickly pears are generally located in sections far off-trail, and hidden by taller grasses and sedges, so you'll just have to trust our photographic documentation for the time being. But isn't it remarkable that in view of the Milwaukee River, and just down the road from Lake Michigan, one can find healthy populations of cacti?!

🐝 great pollinators!

Right now is swarming season for honeybees, just like this honeybee at the Riveredge Farm. Don't worry...they don't mean to bother of endanger you, they're just looking for a place to bee. No need to spray them to scatter, they'll bee gone soon enough...or you can always contact a beekeeper to come help them out.

Enjoy this wonderful natural world and bee kind to our pollinator friends!
