Explore Wisconsin’s natural wonders with the National Resources Foundation through October on one or several of the Foundation’s stellar slated 275 Field Trips.
With a connection to Lake Puckay and the Grand River Marsh State Wildlife Area, a 10,000-acre complex of marsh, grassland, oak savanna, river, and woodlots home to over 200 species of migrating waterfowl, just over a mile away, Adeline’s House of Cool appreciates the importance and responsibilities of caring for Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife.
National Resources Foundation (NRF) offers these expert-led field trips to encourage people to enjoy our state’s natural wonders and get people involved in conservation.
Geared towards adults and families, this year’s 275 trips offer something for everyone.
New this year, NRF is offering a carpool option for some trips to help participants lower their carbon footprint, and a new online trip finder map that makes it easier to sort by categories like physical demand, family-friendliness, and more.

About the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin
The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin is a statewide 501c3 nonprofit, formed in 1986 as declining budgets severely compromised critical programs of Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR). With the support of our donors and members, the Foundation has boosted private sector investment and involvement in Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife.
After over 35 years, the Foundation still serves this role and fills an important and unique conservation funding niche that no other organization does. Embracing the power of public-private partnerships, recovering species from the brink of extinction, and continuing to bring substantial financial resources and attention to priority projects of the DNR and other conservation partners.
The National Resources Foundation of Wisconsin has grown to do so much more. The Foundation provides sustainable funding for Wisconsin’s most imperiled species and ecosystems and helps the people of our state explore, love, and protect its natural resources.
