Places We Protect
Across Wisconsin, we have identified approximately 13 million acres in need of conservation activity and taken a leadership role in the protection of some of our state's most critical landscapes. These areas include the Baraboo Hills in Sauk and Columbia counties, the Door Peninsula, the Chequamegon Bay watershed on Lake Superior, the Mukwonago River watershed in southeast Wisconsin, and the Military Ridge Prairie Heritage area in southwest Wisconsin.
The Nature Conservancy also owns and manages preserves in other locations around the state. Conservancy preserves are open to the public for low-impact recreational activities such as hiking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, and bird-watching.
