conservation chase at lapham peak
may 16, 2026
Tall Pines is proud to announce the inaugural "Conservation Chase", a race event held at the Lapham Peak Unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest!
Building on the legacy of the Bear Trax & Brownie Shuffle, this event will feature a variety of walk, run, and ruck options that are open to all ages. Proceeds from the Conservation Chase will support Tall Pines' mission of preserving natural areas, open space, and farmland throughout the Lake Country region and beyond. Participants will not only enjoy the scenic, rolling trails but will also contribute to maintaining the natural beauty of southeastern Wisconsin.
Tall Pines Conservancy is partnering with Silver Circle Sports Events, LLC to provide marketing, logistics, timing, and overall event management for the Conservation Chase. Silver Circle Sports Events brings extensive experience in producing high-quality, safe, and professionally managed endurance events throughout Wisconsin. The inaugural Conservation Chase celebrates Tall Pines' recent acquisition of the K. Redmond Family Preserve immediately south of Lapham Peak. This 86-acre acre property features oak woodlands and a sedge meadow where the Ice Age Trail runs along Scuppernong Creek. The land is now permanently protected thanks to generous donations from the Redmond and Bugbee families. Tall Pines Conservancy invites runners, walkers, and nature enthusiasts to join the Chase and run with a purpose, supporting the vital work of land conservation for future generations.

Lend a Hand - Leave a Legacy!
At Tall Pines Conservancy, our story began with a handful of passionate individuals who recognized the urgent need to protect the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of Southeast Wisconsin. Their commitment gave rise to a thriving, nationally accredited land trust — and their spirit of stewardship continues to guide us today.
Now, we invite you to become part of that legacy.
As a volunteer with Tall Pines Conservancy, you’ll find countless ways to make a meaningful impact. Whether you're passionate about conservation, eager to spend more time outdoors, or simply looking for a way to give back, there's a place for you here. Volunteers help with everything from removing invasive species and restoring prairies and wetlands and maintaining trails throughout our protected properties to building regional support for local producers.
If you prefer to work behind the scenes, your skills are just as valuable. We welcome support with tasks like conservation easement monitoring, data collection and reporting, coordinating community events, and even helping with grant writing and outreach efforts.
No matter how you choose to get involved, your time and energy contribute directly to the long-term health of our landscapes and the success of our mission.
