Wisconsin State Park - Coldcache Park Packs Wisconsin State Park - ColdCache Park Packs Overview: The Ice Age Trail goes through twelve (12) Wisconsin State Parks or Forests. Forty (40) ColdCache sites, plus three (3) cultural / additional sites are distributed in or near eight (8) of these state properties. ColdCache Park Packs can be checked out by visitors at these eight (8) locations. The Packs contain the site information and supplies needed to find the sites and learn about the ColdCache program. Every pack includes a GPS unit. Each pack is then customized based on the activities required to complete the tasks for the ColdCache sites at that location. These packs encourage families or other groups to be active in the outdoors. In the process, Park visitors learn how to use a GPS unit, get fresh air, exercise, and a geologic lesson while enjoying the thrill of finding a treasure and working as a team.

  • Wisconsin's Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015)
    Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Prepared by: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources with Assistance from Conservation Partners, June 30th, 2008 06/19/2008 page 2 of 93 Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan (2005-2015) IMPLEMENTATION: Priority Conservation Actions & Conservation Opportunity Areas Acknowledgments Wisconsin’s Wildlife Action Plan is a roadmap of conservation actions needed to ensure our wildlife and natural communities will be with us in the future. The original plan provides an immense volume of data useful to help guide conservation decisions. All of the individuals acknowledged for their work compiling the plan have a continuous appreciation from the state of Wisconsin for their commitment to SGCN. Implementing the conservation actions is a priority for the state of Wisconsin. To put forward a strategy for implementation, there was a need to develop a process for priority decision-making, narrowing the list of actions to a more manageable number, and identifying opportunity areas to best apply conservation actions. A subset of the Department’s ecologists and conservation scientists were assigned the task of developing the implementation strategy. Their dedicated commitment and tireless efforts for wildlife species and natural community conservation led this document.
