Volunteer Days
Time for most volunteer days: 9am-noon

Volunteering is a great way to find out what’s going on in the Preserve. Tools and training provided. Dress to work outdoors, and prepare to meet new people and have fun.  For more information please contact: Bryn Scriver, Preserve Outreach Specialist, bscriver@fpm.wisc.edu, 220-5560. The list above includes all regularly scheduled volunteer days in the Preserve. Note: Work parties are cancelled in case of severe weather (snowstorms, thunderstorms, temperatures lower than 10 degrees F or above 90 degrees F) or if the ground is too muddy or snowy for work.
