Earth Day - Volunteering + Activities

Join Dane County Parks staff for an Earth Day Extravaganza! Stop by the Lussier Family Heritage Center for some fun activities, including:

• Heritage Oak Tree Sapling Giveaway (while supplies last) – Dane County Tree Board
• Rainfall Simulator Demonstration
• Healthy Parks, Healthy You Initiative
• Native Plant Seed Ball Making

We will also offer volunteer shifts for a number of activities including tree planting, native plant transplanting, mulching and more. Please sign up in advance if you would like to help with one of these volunteer activities. An outdoor wheelchair will be available for use by volunteers with an advanced sign up. Use the volunteer signup form to register for a wheelchair spot and also a volunteer spot. Families with younger children are invited to help us make native plant seed balls in the activity area (no sign up required).

This event is a part of the Healthy Parks, Healthy You program, an initiative led in partnership between the Foundation for Dane County Parks, Dane County Parks, Dean Health Plan by Medica, and SSM Health. Healthy Parks, Healthy You engages youth, seniors, and their families in improving their mental, physical, and emotional health through the use of our beautiful Dane County Parks system.
