You don’t need to travel to exotic places to see rare ecosystems. Right here in the Southern Kettle Moraine Region we have one of the rarest natural communities on the globe. The Bur Oak Openings of the Southern Kettle Moraine were listed as a globally significant resource by the Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan. Come learn what makes Oak Openings unique and how to manage, protect and restore this endangered ecosystem.

You will learn about resources available to help you plan and conduct ecological restoration on your oak woodlands. Representatives from Wisconsin DNR, local land trust staff, con-tractors, and landowners who have successfully restored their property will be available to answer your questions and present useful information about prescribed burning and other woodland management techniques.

This workshop is geared towards landowners, natural area enthusiasts, educators and master gardeners. Come prepared for the weather so you can participate in the woodland hike where significant features of oak ecosystems will be pointed out.

Registration Fee: $10 - Lunch is included!

** Remember this event is not at KNC **

Early January’s weather gave us a great opportunity for an early burn.


We like to burn early so we do not disturb the nesting birds in early April.

KNC’s first night hike of 2012 will be Saturday 1/7 beginning at 5:30 pm. Enjoy a 1-1/2 hour hike followed by a cookout. Please confirm with Harold Friestad if you are planning on attending.

Every New Year at 12 noon at the Williams Bay Beach, across from KNC, the warm hearted enjoy a Polar Plunge into Geneva Lake.

The weather has been fantastic for a hike through KNC! Get your new year’s fitness resolution off to a good start by enjoying the trails at KNC.
