Your Donation at Work: Camp Rest Park Restoration Project
We’re excited to share an update on our Camp Rest Park restoration project along the Wisconsin River near Lake Wisconsin!
Thanks to the incredible support of the Lake Wisconsin Lions Club, Dekorra Parks, the Lake Wisconsin Alliance, state grants, and generous individual donations, this project has come to life. Together, we planted a diverse selection of native species designed to support local wildlife, strengthen watershed health, and protect this beautiful stretch of river.
A special thank you goes to Tim Andrews Horticulturist LLC, whose expertise and hands-on support helped make this project a success.
Native Plants Making a Difference
The following native plants were carefully selected to improve water quality, prevent erosion, and provide vital habitat for pollinators and wildlife:
-
Wild iris
-
Dense blazing star
-
Prairie blazing star
-
Fox sedge
-
Crooked-stem aster
-
Red milkweed
-
Cardinal flower
-
Prairie dropseed
-

Each plant plays an important role in building a healthier, more resilient riverside ecosystem.
We’re excited to watch this space grow and thrive in the coming year, and to see the long-term impact your support makes possible.
