Our Events

Some of Gathering Waters events have become institutions, like the Land Conservation Leadership Awards Celebration, our Land Legacy Gathering and the annual Wisconsin Land Trust Retreat.  When we see an opportunity to bring people to gether to advance land conservation in the state, we take it!  Listed below are events scheduled and upcoming.  Wisconsin Land Trusts hold events year round, as well.  We list as many of those as we know about!  Visit the Parade of Perserves!
