Medallion hunt time is here
You take on this quest every year
Gone missing again
In what was a fen
A challenge, but have no fear

Just take a look around town
In city limits it’s found
A natural setting
And don’t be forgetting
It must be on public ground

Go furthest south from the north
Where folks celebrated the Fourth
See children at play
Enjoying the day
In warmer weather, of course

Plants and tall grasses, now dried
Flank the entire north side
Thick bramble and brush
In winter’s chill hush
Make it fun searching outside

Native wildflowers now grow
Tall, dense vegetation blows
Existence sustained
In areas contained
The rest remains frozen though

A power panel stands there
Amid shrubbery everywhere
Explore the east side
Keep your eyes open wide
Near a lone tree that is bare

Erosion in need of control
Water quality also a goal
Food, homes, nesting sites
For fish and wildlife
A concept began to unroll

Shore restoration enhanced
A buffer of native plants
The project was planned
Voluntarily manned
Funded by DNR grants
