Last week, 3,840 native plants were distributed to their forever homes🪻The Sauk County Native Plant Sale is held annually in the spring and provides pre-planned native plant kits to residents at a reduced cost. Kits are pre ordered beginning in March and delievered at the end of May, just in time for spring planting.

Native plants are an important part of the entire food web by supplying food and habitat for insects, birds, bats, small mammals, and other wildlife. In rain gardens, native plants help reduce flooding and improve water quality by filtering pollutants. In crop fields and other working lands, they provide deep roots that help prevent soil erosion. They also bring lasting beauty to any landscape through their diverse colors, forms, and sizes.

If you would like to be notified when the 2027 native plant sale opens up, please subscribe to our Tree & Native Plant Sale topic through our email listserv: https://bit.ly/sauklreupdates

We are excited to announce that Sauk County is hiring a Conservation Agronomist! We’re looking for a conservation-minded agronomist who wants to make a real difference where agriculture and natural resources meet. The Conservation Agronomist will work directly with landowners, farmers, and partners to advance soil health, nutrient management, cover crops, no-till practices, and other conservation solutions that protect working lands and water quality. This role blends boots-on-the-ground fieldwork with technical expertise—supporting nutrient management planning, conservation program implementation, demonstration plots at the Sauk County Farm, producer-led watershed efforts, and practical education that helps move good ideas into action.



Beyond the opportunity to be a part of an awesome department, Sauk County is a remarkable place to call home. From the Baraboo Bluffs and Wisconsin River to rolling farmland, vibrant communities, and year-round outdoor recreation, Sauk County offers the kind of landscape conservation professionals care deeply about—and get to enjoy after work, too. Whether it’s hiking, paddling, fishing, exploring local shops and restaurants, or taking in the natural beauty of one of Wisconsin’s most scenic regions, Sauk County offers an outstanding quality of life along with meaningful public service. If you’re ready to help shape the future of conservation in a place that values both its land and its people, this could be the opportunity for you.

🌻The Sauk County Land Resources and Environment team is searching for a passionate individual to join their mission to protect and enhance the natural, cultural, and historic resources of Sauk County!

In 2014, historic signage was installed at the Sauk County Farm to commemorate the 1921 historic firehouse, share images and information on how the farm had changed over the years, and recognize those who had perished at the site.

Earlier this month, new, updated signage was installed that better depict the historic accounts of the property, accurately identify those who passed away at the property, and recognizing those who worked tirelessly to save the firehouse. We encourage you to stop by and visit the farm to view these signs along with the other interpretive signs.

Funding for the interpretive signs were made possible by grant funding provided by the Alliant Energy Foundation.
