TRAIL CLEANING STARTS APRIL 13, 2024

Mark your calendar and plan to meet at the King’s Corner parking area at 8:45am. The focus for April will be cleaning up after winter, so dress for the weather and for work. If you can help this time, please contact Sandy DeWalt, sdewalt@wi.rr.com / 262-909-4440.

BIRD WALK AND WILDFLOWER WALK PLANS:
The CC Bird- Watching Walk will be Saturday, May 4, in the morning at Trout Ponds Prairie, a new location this year.
The CC Wildflower Walk will be Saturday, May 11, at 1pm at Tabor Woods.
These walks are a great way to begin a new spring season with the Caledonia Conservancy.

TRAILS ARE OPEN:
Hiking and equestrian trails on our beautiful Conservancy properties continue to be open for YOU in all seasons.

Have your CELL PHONE fully charged, and dress for trail conditions on our properties, especially when trails are muddy or snowy. Some trails become quite remote and can be challenging.

Equestrians are warned NOT to enter our trails when they are very muddy, for safety and to maintain trail integrity.

If you discover a tree or branch blocking a trail, and if you can easily move it away from the trail, go ahead; BUT in the case of an equestrian trail, the tree and branches must be moved fully off the trail into the woods so that the log does not startle a horse.
If you need to report a trail problem, you can contact Sandy DeWalt: sdewalt@wi.rr.com / 262-909-4440.

PHOTO CONTESTS FOR 2024 - Monthly Contests this year!

FINANCIALLY SUPPORT YOUR CONSERVANCY
Caledonia Conservancy trails are improved annually and kept open for all, because of the generosity of our volunteer workers and our donors. We seek your financial donation, if you are able, of any amount that makes sense to your budget or ability to help to pat for materials needed for trail improvements, signage, etc. If you know of a local foundation that might provide funds, let us know. We feel that our work is vital to preserving wild spaces in our Village; so also consider becoming an active worker and/or committee member if you are able.
WE GIVE THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US OVER THIRTY YEARS!
Note: there is a DONATE tab at the top of this page, and a big red DONATE NOW button on that page that you’ll click.

CONSERVANCY CALENDARS: We still have a few of our gorgeous CALENDARS @$20. Contact Sandy if you’d like one: sdewalt@wi.rr.com / 262-909-4440

Contests in the Woods!

VOLUNTEER TRAIL CLEANING: we schedule April through October trail work to maintain our wonderful trail system. These are held on the second Saturday of each of those months. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO OUR VOLUNTEERS and we urge all reading this- if you’re able-bodied, come out and help beginning in April. Calendar dates will be posted each month. Contact Sandy for information: sdewalt@wi.rr.com / 262-909-4440

Conservancy members baked and delivered homemade Cookie Plates in MARCH to the many private landowners who allow the CC equestrian trails to cross their properties, to say Thank You! Thanks so much to our bakers and drivers.
