You are cordially invited...to the 27th Annual Dinner of the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation. Join us as Bill Volkert discusses why Habitat Restoration & Land Management are important and how we can all do things at home to engage in these efforts.

Bill worked as the naturalist and wildlife educator for Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources at Horicon Marsh for 27 years, where he conducted more than 3,700 education programs for over 220,000 people. His broad audiences included professional training for 66 delegations of scientists from 43 countries. In his personal time, he has traveled widely in search of the world's birds and the wild places they inhabit. Bill and his wife, Connie, make their home in the northern Kettle Moraine area where they work together to restore and manage a series of native plant communities on their land, including an oak-hickory forest, a planted prairie community and native plant nursery, and manage various types of wetlands.

The Baird Creek Greenway is a significant and unique natural resource located within the City of Green Bay. The Greenway’s nearly 500+ acres of biologically diverse scenic valley stretch three and a half miles following the creek as it flows west over the Niagara Escarpment into the East River.

The mission of the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation is to facilitate the preservation and restoration of the Baird Creek Watershed and Greenway in order to enhance its value as an ecological, recreational, and educational resource for generations to come.
