*Osceola Bedrock Glades State Natural Area, located in Wisconsin, is a unique ecological preserve characterized by its exposed bedrock glades, which are open areas with thin soils over limestone or dolomite bedrock. This habitat supports a variety of rare and specialized plant species adapted to the harsh, dry conditions of the glades, including prairie grasses, lichens, and wildflowers not commonly found in other parts of the state. The area provides a glimpse into Wisconsin’s natural geological history and serves as a critical habitat for several at-risk species. Visitors to Osceola Bedrock Glades can enjoy the scenic, rugged landscape, featuring exposed rock formations and panoramic views, as well as opportunities for hiking, bird-watching, and nature photography.*
