The Wisconsin State Park system is 125 years old in 2025. That's reason to celebrate! Get yourself a yearly park pass for your vehicle, and make plans to enjoy our state parks, state forests, recreation areas, and state trails all year long. If you're feeling a bit of cabin fever this winter, there are some great events coming up in the parks and nature preserves that can combat that seasonal restlessness. Check out this list, and take some time to visit the events calendar to find even more opportunities to get out and enjoy our natural spaces.

I came down with a long-lasting cold the weekend after Thanksgiving. It hung around for a good three weeks. I had recovered, just enough, to take a walk in the snow on Christmas Day, but family festivities were out for me this year. I usually come down with something after the holidays, so I guess I got a jump on it this time around. Thems the breaks, right? And now it's January, 2025, and I'm already struggling with the seasonal blues. January, in my experience, is always rough. So, I'm going to try something different, and take a look back at some of the highlights of 2024, and conjure up some positive vibes.
OTHER NOTABLES TheParkNextDoor celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024. To commemorate it, I started publishing a quarterly magazine based on blogs and features of the website, and more. So far, first issues for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter have been issued. As well as a special best of the blog compilation. They can all be found on the website, under The Magazine tab. These publications are all free to read online. And they can be downloaded to your tablet or computer as well. |
