The Conservancy is a wonderful place to visit during these strange times. Would you like to find more ways to help the young people in your life connect with nature? Many other favorite locations in the area are not open to visitors, but you can visit them on line! We are part of a broader organization in the greater Madison area called Nature Net. Our Nature Net partners are getting creative! Catch up with Zoo-keepers, Naturalists, and Conservationists as they keep the knowledge, observations, and fun ideas for nature-learning flowing. Go to Nature Net’s website to find a calendar of virtual events to take part in and to find links to all of the partner organizations. New things are being added every day.
