Wisconsin’s natural beauty doesn’t protect itself—it relies on the passion of dedicated volunteers. This October, we are bringing these local heroes together, and we invite you to be the catalyst for their impact.
The 2026 Wisconsin Summit for Natural Resources Volunteers is a unique gathering for 300 citizen scientists, researchers, educators, and land stewards. Co-hosted by the UW–Madison Division of Extension and Carpenter St. Croix Valley Nature Center, this event is more than a conference; it is a mobilization of the people who keep our water clean and our forests healthy.
