Stricker Fen

Discover Stricker Fen in Orchard

Stricker Fen is a 60 acre area that includes a pond wetland, established trees and reestablished prairie. This area is a fen or a type of bog and occurs when the water table is higher than usual. The higher water table makes the ground feel squishy or springy in nature. This environment provides home to unique plants that prefer to live here. This area is a great place to view wildlife and wildflowers throughout the year. Many Monarch butterflies also use this area during their migration south. The uniqueness of the area is a must visit location for those who enjoy the outdoors.
