The Dane County Parks are the largest county park system in the state and are leaders in land restoration, environmental education, and outdoor recreation. Learn about Dane County Parks’ achievements over the years, discover what is next, and hear from conservation experts.

Tickets are $25/person or $150/table. Purchase your tickets here.

In honor of Dane County Parks’ 90th anniversary, the Foundation is raising $90,000 to restore 90 acres through its Adopt an Acre program. A $1,000 donation helps restore one acre, providing diverse wildlife habitat and additional outdoor recreational opportunities.
