The best kept secrets in Bureau County

Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District has some well-kept secrets in Bureau County for all to enjoy! As family budgets are being carefully watched, we want to remind the residents of Bureau County that we have some unique opportunities for nature enrichment right in their own county. Pack up the car and take a short drive to Warnecke Woods and enjoy the fall air with a relaxing walk through the woods. Trails are marked, wood-chipped and some with steep hills. There you can identify animal tracks and bird calls, do some leaf collecting, soak up the quietude, do spider sleuthing, count the different kinds of trees or have a nature scavenger hunt. Take the family picture in a natural setting!
