Hi Everyone,
Out of concern for our visitors, staff, and volunteers and in support of Wisconsin's Department of Health’s community mitigation strategy for COVID-19, all classes, programs and events will be cancelled until such time that we are informed by public health officials that it is safe to resume programming and events. As of now, we will be cancelling all programming through April 25th to mirror the Wisconsin School District's closures.
While social distancing is being encouraged, it doesn't mean you need to stay indoors! Take a hike, pull out your bike, look for hibernators and new plants emerging, or simply soak up some sun in your favorite outdoor space. It doesn't take much to experience nature's healing ways.
Please check back for updates.
Stay Well,
Ashley Goldbeck

Given the chance, a child will bring the confusion of the world to the woods, wash it in the creek, and turn it over to see what lives on the unseen side of that confusion...
In nature a child finds freedom, fantasy, and privacy; a place distant
from the adult world, a separate peace.
