Read the March 2026 Preserve E-Newsletter

Madison just experienced a historic blizzard this week, and tomorrow is the first day of spring – “typical” Wisconsin March weather, according to Preserve Director Brad Herrick! March is also the typical time we celebrate and recognize the previous year’s Lakeshore Nature Preserve volunteers. Volunteers are critical to the success of the Preserve!

Read the March 2026 Preserve E-Newsletter to learn about a new partnership with University Health Services, read reflections by our student interns on their time in the Preserve, and find out what motivates two Preserve volunteers.

Plus:

  • Check out upcoming Friends of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve field trips.
  • Save the date for some fundraising fun on Day of the Badger, April 14-15.
  • Join the Friends of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Annual Meeting on April 14 for a special presentation by the lead architect on the new Frautschi Center.

    We celebrate our 2025 volunteers in this March issue of the Preserve E-Newsletter.
