The Friends of Holbrook Island Sanctuary State Park Welcome You!

Our mission is to build appreciation and awareness of unique ecological, scenic, and conservational benefits of the Park, so that it will be adequately supported, appropriately used, and perpetually protected. Enjoy your visit!

TRAIL VOLUNTEERS WANTED

Rising University of Wisconsin Steven's Point student and Holbrook Island Trail Ambassador Amelia Pederson will be leading weekly Wednesday volunteer trail work afternoons from July 22nd until August 12th (weather dependent). Vegetative management will be our primary task. Please arrive at 1:00 and stay for any length you wish. Bring water, gloves and proper footwear.

The primary focus will be brushing back the corridors but may involve other tasks as well. Please consider joining or spreading the word as we try to catch up on overdue maintenance on our trail systems. Each Wednesday at 1:00!

 Meeting at 1:00 at the Park Headquarters Garage and volunteers are asked to stay as long or as little as they may be available. We will head off to different trailheads under Amelia’s guidance.

Greetings from the Friends

“It has been amazing to see the influx of visitors over the seasons enjoying refreshing activities in the Park. It is your park and you have a remarkable opportunity to enjoy your heritage. .” — President Will Hotchkiss

Holbrook Island Sanctuary has a unique place in the state park system. A network of old roads, paths, and animal trails leads you to explore the shoreline, marshes, ponds and forests. It will never be altered by modern park facilities and management techniques.
