Nature Walk: The CCC and the Arboretum

In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) set up its only camp on a university campus. More than 200 men served at Camp Madison before it closed in 1941. Learn how they contributed to the restoration of native Wisconsin ecosystems and walk through the landscape they helped create. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes and come prepared for weather.

Free, no registration required. Meet at the Visitor Center.
