 The Sac County Conservation Board
(SCCB) was established in 1962 in order to acquire, develop, maintain and make
available to the inhabitants of the county: parks, preserves, county forests,
wildlife and other conservation areas and to promote and preserve health and
general welfare of the people, to encourage the orderly development and
conservation of natural resources and cultivate good citizenship by providing
adequate programs of public recreation.The SCCB manages nearly 800 acres of
parks, wildlife areas, and recreational trails throughout Sac County. Many
recreational opportunities await you at these areas, ranging from biking the
scenic Sauk Rail Trail, to walking the wooded trails of Hagge Park, to hunting
deer or pheasants at Whitetail Woods or any of our other wildlife areas. There
is also plenty of opportunity for camping, birdwatching, canoeing, fishing and
more!
In addition to managing these areas, the SCCB has a strong environmental
education program designed to increase awareness and enjoyment of the county’s
natural resources. The environmental education program is active throughout the
county and makes presentations to schools, civic groups and clubs, Boy and Girl
Scouts and to the general public year round. The annual Halloween Night Hike,
summer camps, winter day camps, Outrageous Outdoors and Conservation Field days
are just a few examples of the many opportunities for children and adults to
learn about our natural resources.
