Great Wisconsin Birdathon

May 12th is International Migratory Bird Day, and here in Wisconsin many will be heading outdoors to see up to 350 different species of birds that spend time in our state.

This year the Wisconsin Bird Conservation Initiative is promoting the first ever Great Wisconsin Birdathon, a fund raiser to support state and local bird conservation programs.  During the month of May teams of 2 or more gather pledges then spend a day bird-watching and identifying bird species. This is the first year for this event, but the WBCI hopes to make it an annual fund raiser.

Get all the details for participating in or donating to the Great Wisconsin Birdathon here first-ever Great Wisconsin Birdathon

If you're new to birding, several Wisconsin State Parks are hosting events on May 12th - see the event list here "Opening Day" for birdwatchers is May 12

Get Mom a great wooded parcel for watching birds!  Happy Mother's Day from all of us at BuyWisconsinLand.com

Forest Appreciation Week

April 22nd to April 28th has been proclaimed Forest Appreciation Week and Friday April 27th has been proclaimed the 129th Celebration of Arbor Day in Wisconsin (see the Governor's Proclaimation here)

Trees are a valuable resource in Wisconsin, and around the world. Arbor Day gives us a chance to remember this, and give back by planting a tree of our own.  Many Arbor Day celebrations will be taking place at schools this week, so don't be surprised if your little one brings home a seedling this Friday!  Get tree planting tips and more Arbor Day fun information on the Wisconsin DNR website Celebrate Arbor Day

Is your community a "Tree City"? The Tree City USA program, sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters, gives recognition to communities who work to maintain and promote their green areas.  Check out all of Wisconsin's and the US's Tree Cities here Tree City USA Communities

Where In Wisconsin Do You Want To Be?

You've decided to find a recreational or hunting property.  Something you and your family can use and enjoy for years to come.  But where in Wisconsin do you want to be?

Just as important as the size or price of the property is it's location. While you wish for your own lakefront cabin or acres of woods with trails, the next thought is where?  Close to a large city for shopping and entertainment?  Near a certain venue your family and friends like to visit?

If you're not sure what part of Wisconsin is right for you, check out DiscoverWisconsin.com  Yes, this is the web home of the TV show that highlights different areas of Wisconsin each week.  On their website you can check out videos from past shows and see what different areas of Wisconsin have to offer.  Perhaps the show will spark a vacation idea that gets you to a city or town you haven't visited yet.  Or remind you of the place you always wanted to see again.

Check out Discover Wisconsin's video page Destinations  And once you find a place you love, visit BuyWisconsinLand.com and find your perfect getaway property.
