YV4C Conservation Workday

Are you a young adult between the ages of 15-21 and interested in the outdoors? Come join Youth Volunteers for Conservation (YV4C) Program and explore Dane County Parks while contributing to ecological restoration and habitat conservation here in Southern Wisconsin!

Please note: Background checks are required for all YV4C participants to help keep our programs safe and welcoming. When you sign up for the first time, we will run an background check.

Location: 

Lake Farm County Park. 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. 

Get outside and make a real impact this winter! Join YV4C for a hands-on stewardship workday focused on caring for Dane County’s natural spaces. Volunteers will help clear brush and trails, remove winter debris, and support habitat health while learning how seasonal stewardship protects local ecosystems.

No experience needed—just come ready to work, learn, and connect with other youth who care about conservation. We’ll wrap up the day with hot chocolate to warm up and celebrate the work we’ve done together.
