Friends Group

If you enjoy the park, you may wish to express your appreciation through a gift of money, materials, equipment, or volunteering. Gifts help Wisconsin state parks provide facilities and services that otherwise would not be possible. Local volunteers have formed the Friends of New Glarus Woods State Park [exit DNR] to raise funds and to help park staff with operations of the park. Members help with prairie restoration, interpretive programs, concessions, and more.
