Every year we host our Kid's Day were the youth learn how to build a bird house, hear conservation lectures, demonstrations and receive a tree to plant at home. Generally this event is held at the clubhouse.

The Free Kids Fishery is held on the first Saturday of February and is located at Bire's Pond on Hwy 82 east of Mauston.

Currently we are hosting the Men's Shed put on by ADRC of Juneau County on the last Tuesday of the month. It is one of 27 Men's Sheds programs in the country. Check out their wesite for more information. Reservations requested.

Our History as an environmental organization

From our beginning, we have been fortunate to have such a wonderful group of people that worked tirelessly to get Outdoors Forever up and running. This section will be expanding as we uncover information and will post it here and on our Facebook page outdoorsforeverclub.

Our first information about the club has been sent to us by a member of the Wright Family (Diane Wright Hamm) which owned the present day County N Clubhouse and land. Below are some pictures she graciously shared with us.

David Wright and his family moved from Illinois and  were the first to settle this property during the Homestead Act. David  died a few years later and his son David took over the farm at the age of 15 and took care of his mother and two sisters. David married Ida Eaton and they had nine children, At one time, the farm was the Oak and Maple Grove Resort, The family photos are the David Wright Family and her father Lawrence Wright is the boy standing between his parents. The last photo is of David and Ida (Eaton)Wright that owned the resort. The table pictured is rumored to be the table that President Abraham Lincoln sat at when he was at the farm. The farm was purchased by Outdoors Forever on July 9, 1990 from Lawrence Wright.
