In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; we will understand only what we have been taught.
-Baba Dioum, Senegalese ecologist 1968

HOW OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM WORKS                 

All workdays take place on remnant prairie sites just inside the Badger fence, or adjacent to it.  Activities may include cutting invasive shrubs, pulling mustard or other weeds, collecting seed, or creating a prairie nursery!

Volunteers should always wear long pants, weather-appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes, and bring drinking water.

Enthusiasm is required...experience is not!

For new and returning volunteers interested in becoming VOLUNTEER LEADERS, check out our Skills Builders link below!

Please note that access to sites within the former Badger Plant is limited. Please RSVP in advance!

If you are a business or community organization interested in sponsoring a Volunteer Restoration Workday, please register today!

Our Goals
Our mission statement and goals were developed as part of our strategic planning process in the spring of 2002, after incorporating as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Volunteer
Work parties are a great way to meet others who are interested in conservation, the Sauk Prairie, or the Badger Army Ammunition Plant. It also presents a wonderful opportunity to learn more about Wisconsin's native prairie and savanna communities!
History of the Badger Lands
The history of the Badger Plant and the greater Sauk Prairie is an amalgam of many histories, beginning billions of years ago with the formation of some of the oldest and most durable rocks on earth...
Imagine!
Badger presents the opportunity to provide endless recreational pursuits for area residents, including hiking, photography, bicycling, cross-country skiing, and camping.
