These parties tackle specific tasks at our preserves. Typical activities include exotic plant removal, brush cutting, seed collecting, and planting. Most of our work parties are also announced in the newsletter. Work party leaders will contact regular attendees with information about upcoming land management projects and scheduled work parties.
BARABOO HILLS
Sauk/Columbia Counties
The oak and maple forests of the Baraboo Hills constitute the largest block of upland forest still standing in southern Wisconsin. They provide habitat for more than 1,800 kinds of plants and animals. There are many volunteer opportunities to help manage this special place.
