Welcome to the
Waukesha County
Land Conservancy
Preserving Environmentally Significant Lands in Waukesha County Open spaces
seemingly unaltered by human design, fill a need within us. They lift our soul,
refresh our spirit…
For almost two decades, the Waukesha County Land Conservancy has worked
quietly and efficiently at fulfilling its mission of protecting environmentally
significant lands in Waukesha County. Over 2,608 acres of primary environmental
corridor, undisturbed shoreline, pristine floating bog, uplands, woodlands and
wetlands are preserved for generations to come. Our most recent addition is a
127 acre conservation easement in the Town of Mukwonago..
Preserving these unique spaces for our children and grandchildren means that
someday they, too, can hear the one-of-a-kind honking that means a sandhill
crane is flying overhead….see a pasque flower poking its delicate petals from
beneath the snow….trail a hand in the cold, clear water of the Mukwonago
River….watch great blue herons feeding their young….glimpse a painted turtle
slipping off a log….smell the sharp earthiness of a woodland emerging from the
grip of winter….listen to the whispers of falling leaves….

Stark and the Siepmann Family, the many committee members that
organize and plan these events, and the individuals that show up for
land management work days and who manage our hunting policies.
Also many thanks to all the individuals, foundations and
