Youth Volunteers for Conservation (YV4C) Winter Ecology Stewardship Workday

Get outside and make a real impact this winter! Join Youth Volunteers for Conservation (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.
