During Land Trust Days, you can join land trusts for a variety of outdoor activities hosted on land trust properties, such as:
- Hiking Wisconsin’s prairies, forests, and bluffs
- Cycling through beautiful countryside
- Building the historic Ice Age National Scenic Trail
- Searching for plants and pollinators
- Capturing nature with a camera or sketchbook
- Forest bathing and outdoor yoga
- Collecting native prairie seeds

Gathering Waters creates tools like this to help you enjoy natural places. As a nonprofit environmental organization, we help people like you learn more about how to protect and enjoy Wisconsin’s land, water, and wildlife.
