Contacts

The Lakeshore Nature Preserve is managed by the Univeristy of Wisconsin-Madison's Division of Facilities Planning and Management (FPM). Two full-time managers work together to provide day-to-day oversight of operations and policy. A shared-governance body called the Lakeshore Nature Preserve Committee, with faculty, staff, and student members, advises Preserve managers and the UW-Madison administration about policies for stewardship and use of the Preserve.
