Join us to celebrate conservation and our watershed community at our annual spring Conservation Day!

We are gearing up for Valley Conservation Day 2024, and have an exciting lineup in store. Expect conservation fun for the whole family, a makers market featuring local artisans, local food and craft beer, and music from Mollie B and Friends.

New this year, we are partnering with our friends at Coon Valley Dairy Supply Company to host Conservation Day on their land. The fest grounds border Coon Creek and are the site of the historic Coon Creek Watershed Civilian Conservation Corps Camps.

We can’t think of a more perfect place to celebrate our watershed and its conservation traditions than along Coon Creek and at the center of the first watershed conservation project in the nation! Read more about the Civilian Conservation Corps and its work in Coon Valley here.
