From Preserve Our Parks

Photo essay by Eddee Daniel

Richfield Nature Park, Washington County
Richfield Historical and Nature Park, Washington County

‘Tis the season to be jolly. We at Preserve Our Parks want to wish you, your families, all your friends and neighbors, and also the wealth of other creatures who inhabit the natural world all around us, a blessed holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

For your holiday enjoyment we bring you a seasonal photo essay. Since we haven’t had a lot of snow so far this season, some of the images are from last Jan and Feb. All are from 2022. We hope you have plenty of opportunities to go outdoors and enjoy a variety of winter activities.

The images come from different parks and preserves throughout SE Wisconsin. The captions indicate the locations. You can find many other places to recreate on our Find-a-Park map!

Enjoy!
