Lac Lawrann Conservancy is a 145 acres nature preserve and is contiguous with Royal Oaks park adding another 25 acres. It is a vast expanse of water, sky, wetlands, native hardwood forest, red pine plantation, tall grass prairie, and glacial landscapes. The Conservancy serves as refuge to over 300 species of plants, over 200 species of birds, and a wide variety of mammals as well as reptiles and amphibians.

The Conservancy also serves as an outdoor classroom for over 5,000 visitors each year, including over 1,200 school children. Visitors participate in self-guided hiking and skiing, guided tours, special events, school field trips, and a variety of public programs for families and individuals of all ages.

The natural diversity at the Lac Lawrann is fantastic ~forever changing with the seasons. The Conservancy is a special place for exploration, discovery, wonder, and tranquility.

Visit the Conservancy often, walk softly, and whisper~ you might just find a hidden treasure, or a four-legged friend staring back at you. Enjoy Nature at Your Doorstep!

Lac Lawrann Conservancy provides engaging and enriching environmental education programs to schools in the West Bend area and beyond. Our programs are designed to give students hands-on experiences with nature and connect them to the outdoors, while meeting Wisconsin academic standards. Our experienced naturalists offer a range of programs that can be customized to fit the needs of any age group, from preschoolers to high school students. We believe that by teaching young people about the natural world, we can inspire them to become stewards of our environment for years to come. Contact us to schedule a program for your school today!
