WHY BRISTOL WOODS / PRINGLE NATURE CENTER?
With nearly 200 acres of restored prairie, oak savanna, wetland, and woodland habitats, Bristol Woods is a refuge for many species of plants and animals native to the southeastern Wisconsin/greater Chicago areas. It will be an exciting challenge to see how many species we find!
The nature center patio, restrooms, and building are wheelchair accessible. The surrounding lawns are groomed with slight slopes connecting to a paved entry path, and parking lots have accessible parking. Currently, there are no ADA-approved trails in the park. If you require an accommodation, please email access@mpm.edu or call 414-278-6943.
