Mark your calendars for one of our favorite events - the Candlelight Walk in the Woods at Mequon Rotary Park.

The 2025 Annual Candlelight Walk-In-The-Woods at Pukaite Woods in Mequon’s Rotary Park is set for Saturday, February 15, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. The event is a joint effort between the Mequon-Thiensville Sunrise Rotary Club and the City of Mequon and will be the fourth year that it takes place. The event is meant to highlight not only the woods and the work that has been completed here over the last several years, but also engage the community during a time of the year when residents do not typically frequent the Parks. The event also offers a unique opportunity for residents to enjoy a candlelit walk in the park during hours that it would not customarily be open to the public. The event is free and open to the public. The public restrooms will be open, and volunteers from the Rotary Club will be serving hot cocoa with bonfire stations positioned throughout the park for marshmallow roasting. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed. No registration is required.

[Repost ] Today is a perfect day to introduce ! As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on all the wonderful memories we’ve had over this past year. Whether it was our numerous volunteer workdays, hardworking interns, celebrating 30 years of conservation, continued stewardship efforts, or a successful merger, we’ve done it all in stride. We also could not have accomplished all that we did without the help of our incredible community members, volunteers, staff, interns, and so many more. So, thank you for your continued support as we venture into the new year! 🎉
