The Peninsula Wildflower Checklist lists blossoming dates for park flowers. Buy it for $2 at Peninsula's White Cedar Nature Center or park headquarters, or send check for $2.50 to Peninsula State Park, 9462 Shore Rd., Fish Creek WI 54212-0218. Proceeds fund nature education.

Like to Hike?

Participate in Peninsula's Like to Hike program. Hike, bike, or ski at least five trails and be eligible to purchase a custom pin at cost ($3). The 2008 pin features a white pelican..

Ask for a hiking log at Peninsula State Park Headquarters or the Nature Center. Select five of nine trail options listed. Record your adventures in the log. Some trails are accessible. Requirements can also be modified to meet a visitor's needs.

Have the log stamped at headquarters or the Nature Center. Quantities of the pin will be limited. You can start hiking any time.

Pins are also available to individuals and groups that volunteer (i.e., scouts/garlic mustard pull).
