A core group of Sierrans have started a campaign – Wisconsin Loves Parks – to fulfill our obligations as stewards and focus on securing the long-term operating funds needed to support your parks. This effort needs champions, and we are proposing that everyone who loves a state park join together and champion this effort!

The focal point this year is May 11 – Wisconsin Loves Parks Day. The Four Lakes Group has adopted Governor Dodge State Park and plans to host an event there. The goal is to get 15-20 people at each event across the state offering recreational activities as well as raising awareness of the campaign goal – the establishment of sufficient operating funds. And of course, show love for your state park!

Here’s how you can help:
