Friends of Hoyt Park Annual Meeting

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
6:45 to 9:00 p.m.
Hoyt School Room 13

Please join us for our Nineteenth Annual Friends of Hoyt Park Membership Meeting at Hoyt School. Our speaker will be Wayne Pauly, Parks Naturalist for the Dane County Park system. Wayne will speak on "Prairie Lore," a subject he knows well from his many years of experience studying, restoring and planting prairies in Dane County. Wayne has been a very special friend of Hoyt Park by sharing his knowledge and providing a generous amount of seeds for our restoration efforts.

If you like prairie lore and prairie plants, you won't want to miss this enthralling presentation.

Dott Memorial

Dott Memorial stone Prof. Robert and Nancy Dott, two stalwarts and original members of the Friends of Hoyt Park have been honored with a boulder, this to be found in the north end of the park in the old quarry. Baraboo quartzite it is, just like the stone found at Devil's Lake. It should also be noted that FHP member, and former student of Prof. Dott, was instrumental in getting this project done. Go for a walk in the park and take a look.
