Door County Festival of Nature

About the Event

Door County is a special place for many reasons. One of the most beautiful things about Door County is how people care for the land. Those who lived here long before us had the foresight to protect diverse ecosystems all along the peninsula. Even now, as the number of visitors on the peninsula increases with each passing year, there is a network of people who share this same connection. They work to build relationships between people and nature, inspiring stewardship and a land ethic will transcend generations.

This year, let us celebrate the individuals, organizations, and ecosystems that make Door County the incredible community it is by connecting people and the planet. Through field trips, lectures, events, and communications, we want you to be inspired to act and help us ensure that these wild places are protected for future generations.
