INSPIRE • APPRECIATE • ENJOY

Bubolz Nature Preserve strives to serve as a gathering place for the community to become inspired by, appreciate and enjoy nature. Through educational programming and recreational opportunities, Bubolz encourages fostering a healthy environment and providing an improved quality of life. The unique blend of habitats found here are what make the preserve such an important natural area in Northeast Wisconsin. The preserve is located where Wisconsin’s Northern and Southern biological communities meet, producing a diverse array of flora and fauna from both of these regions of the state can be discovered throughout the property.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

With humans exerting a greater impact on the Earth every day, it is essential to think about living more lightly on the land. We have only one Earth, home to wondrous plants and animals but also a human population of 7.9 billion and growing.

To ensure a healthy planet supporting us all, people need to learn the importance of recycling, energy conservation, green options and conservation of biodiversity. With that knowledge, they can make smart decisions to protect and sustain our home into the future.

With real, hands-on learning opportunities, people of all ages connect with nature, making them care about the environment. We have to start today with little steps towards better choices to protect our Earth, ourselves and the futures of those we care about. The educational programming at Bubolz is committed to making this happen.

SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS

“I would highly recommend Bubolz Nature Reserve for a venue to have your event. They provide a comfortable atmosphere to welcome your guest. The accommodation whether you have a small or large group they make it work & location is ideal. The outside scenery is great for back drop or after your event taking a walk through the trails. The local business they recommend for catering is great!”
