Look for WRTO at the Boscobel Farmers Market! 🥾

We’re excited to spend a little time with our neighbors, share what’s happening with the Wisconsin River Trail, and chat with anyone who’s trail-curious, community-minded, or just out enjoying a good market day.

We may have a few surprises at the table, but either way, we’d love for you to stop by and say hi to Denise and Jackie! See you tomorrow

Last night’s group bike ride was a good one!

We had a small but mighty crew join us for the first ride, and it was so nice to get out, enjoy the evening, and spend a little time together.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲’𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗻.

And yes… we were having such a good time that we forgot to take pictures. Oops. 😂 We’ll do better next week!

Thanks to everyone who came out and helped kick this off. Join us every Monday evening for a casual community bike ride — all are welcome!

See you out there! 🚲

We just held our annual meeting and are so excited for the wonderful things going on...but before I talk about that...I'm wondering...does anyone in the Boscobel area have any storage capacity for us to store some items that are easily accessible for us? I don't live there and am unable to bring items back and forth. Must be clean and critter free!

We had a great turnout and meeting. Top things to know:
1. UW-Platteville Engineering students are planning on adopting us again this year. We are interested in knowing where the community members and visitors would like to see a trail continuation, once we get the trail to Woodman. Would you like to go to Blue River, using Old C? Fennimore? Wauzeka? Please let us know your thoughts ([email protected])

2. National Park Service is opening up some of the projects that were shut down due to funding restrictions and we are top of their list. They assist with creating trails through all means (minus construction itself). See https://www.nps.gov/orgs/rtca/index.htm for more info.

3. We are investing in our future, as we were chosen for one-on-one assistance creating a DIY economic impact survey/research. This takes 9 months total. This study will give us so much information on our baseline numbers for trail users, research for similar communities and the economic (and many other) advantages the trail has brought to their community, as well as assisting with future planning, assisting with grant writing numbers, determining trends of use, and so many other things! More to come as we move forward.

4. We grew our board with great intention! We now have different groups that will work on different trail needs. If you are interested in helping as a volunteer (or would like to join the board, please reach out. Our 4 groups are:
-Fundraising-We are always in need of volunteers here!
-Marketing/Social Media
-Finance/Treasury
-Current Construction/Maintenance

And then we will meet quarterly with the entire board (of about 20) for an Envisioning meeting.

Again, more to come...I got wordy...but thanks for your interest!

My email is [email protected] if you want to reach out.
