This is the annual spring Scout Community Service project at Anderson Farm County Park. Scouts and family members from Troops 68, 150 and 750 will be working in the forest or prairie. 

Work is seasonal and dependent on the weather and conditions. Any inclement weather decisions are made at the park (914 Union Road), just before the start time. Dress for the weather and wet/dry conditions.

APF will provide orientations and all equipment.

Non scout volunteers are welcome to join the event. Help Dane County Park's Department (DCP) natural areas staff and APF volunteers continue restoration work at Anderson Farm County Park’s forests and prairies.

Native plants and restored forests promote biodiversity and stewardship of our natural heritage.

Our annual Arbor Day event will feature 5 education sessions about trees and the care of forests, followed by a tree climbing event in the picnic area.

This year, 6th grade students in the Oregon School District will visit the park and participate in the event.

This event is a partnership between Anderson Park Friends, Dane County Parks, and Arbor Systems.

After having to cancel the event in 2022 due to weather, we are excited to host this event again this year.
The annual event is a community favorite. Over 750 people attended this fun, family, event, in 2021.

The event includes a variety of activities.
A 3/4 mile hiking trail through the Arthur Sholts Memorial Woods and Prairie will be lit with tiki torches and luminaries.
A bonfire is located in the Sholts picnic area. Limited snacks and beverages are available at no cost.

The event is co-sponsored with the Oregon Area Wellness Coalition.  We partner with local organizations as well. The local boy and girl scout troops provide volunteer help with set-up and clean-up. Sponsorships are available to local businesses.

Get outside and meet your neighbors.
