Please consider adding a donation to your registration to further the Brown County Parks mission. The department manages over 3,000 acres of land and is only partially funded through taxes. Your donation will be used to further environmental education, natural resource management and passive recreation throughout Brown County. Specifically, at the L.H. Barkhausen Waterfowl Preserve staff education and immerse more than 8,000 kids a year in all things “outdoors”. This is often the child’s first experience with learning about plants and wildlife.
