Are you a young adult ages 15-21 who enjoys the outdoors? Join the Youth Volunteers for Conservation (YV4C) program to explore Dane County Parks while building real-world conservation skills. Participants will contribute to habitat restoration efforts and gain exposure to career pathways in natural resources across southern Wisconsin.
Volunteers will contribute to ongoing conservation efforts at Dane County demonstration farm in the Sugar River Wildlife, exploring how agriculture and environmental stewardship work together to protect soil and water resources. Youth will engage in hands-on activities including a rainfall simulator demonstration and soil sampling to better understand how different land management practices affect water infiltration, runoff, and soil health. If time allows, volunteers may also participate in infiltration testing to deepen their understanding of how conservation practices improve water movement through soil.
