Love Lake Winnebago? Want to get outside, get your hands a little dirty, and make a real difference? Join us for one (or more!) of our Shoreline Volunteer Days at Doty Park in Neenah, Columbia Park in Malone or Marble Park in Winneconne.

We’ll be planting seedlings at Doty Park in May 2026, and removing invasive species and helping native plants thrive during the rest of the year—all part of our ongoing effort to restore the health and beauty of our shorelines.
