MADISON, WI – Gathering Waters: Wisconsin’s Alliance for Land Trusts presents the eighth annual Wisconsin Land Trust Days, a series of nature-themed events hosted by land trusts from July 1 through September 30.
Land Trust Days celebrates land trusts and the important work they do protecting Wisconsin’s land, water, and wildlife. In 2025, 22 Wisconsin land trusts will host 49 events that are open to the public and offer a variety of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Participants can experience Wisconsin’s unique landscapes by hiking, biking, paddling, and even horseback riding. Educational opportunities that are great for the whole family will highlight butterflies and birds. Adults can appreciate nature with a sketchbook or wind down with outdoor yoga. Volunteers can help build part of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Read more highlights and get information on what to expect during 2025 Land Trust Days here.
