INSPIRE • APPRECIATE • ENJOY
Bubolz Nature Preserve strives to serve as a gathering place for the community to become inspired by, appreciate and enjoy nature. Through educational programming and recreational opportunities, Bubolz encourages fostering a healthy environment and providing an improved quality of life. The unique blend of habitats found here are what make the preserve such an important natural area in Northeast Wisconsin. The preserve is located where Wisconsin’s Northern and Southern biological communities meet, producing a diverse array of flora and fauna from both of these regions of the state can be discovered throughout the property.
“I would highly recommend Bubolz Nature Reserve for a venue to have your event. They provide a comfortable atmosphere to welcome your guest. The accommodation whether you have a small or large group they make it work & location is ideal. The outside scenery is great for back drop or after your event taking a walk through the trails. The local business they recommend for catering is great!”

Summer Bird Walk
Join us on July 11th from 10am-12pm, for a morning of bird fun! Master Naturalist Larry Lobner will lead a presentation and discussion on local birds and the struggles they currently are facing. With an approximate 25% decline in population since the 1970's, we will take a look at what birds greatest threats are, and how we can help! Following the presentation, we will take a short hike to see what birds are currently calling Bubolz home.
The preserve will have binoculars for use during program time, however supplies are limited. Please bring your own supplies, if you have them- thank you!
