The Friends is a non-profit membership organization that supports the UW-Madison Lakeshore Nature Preserve in myriad ways: through volunteering, fundraising, stewardship projects, and interpretive programs. 

Please see our Mission and Goals and join us in caring for the Preserve. We invite you to explore the Preserve on this web site and in person, and attend Volunteer Days and free Field Trips.  

Stretching from the Eagle Heights Natural Area to Picnic Point and the Lakeshore Path, the Preserve is a jewel of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, distinguishing it as one of the most beautiful in the country. 

The Preserve is an outdoor laboratory supporting research and education, and open to the public.​
