The Baraboo Range Preservation Association is a land trust that works to preserve and protect the qualities and culture of the Baraboo Range through promotion of ecologically responsible land use. We are a non profit tax- exempt organization formed in 1994 by property owners in the area and other concerned individuals who were interested in maintaining traditional rural land uses and private property rights while seeking to preserving the unique natural characteristics of the Baraboo Hills.



Baraboo Range Preservation Association has promoted these values through educational opportunities at our quarterly meetings, through providing information to local property owners, schools and community leaders about the special qualities of the Baraboo Range and the impending threats to this special area.



B.R.P.A. works with other groups with similar interest in the Baraboo Range, such as The Nature Conservancy and The Aldo Leopold Foundation to further their mission. We also have affiliation with other land trust organizations including the Land Trust Alliance and Gathering Waters.



What is unique about our organization is that most of our member are property owners in the area or have strong ties to the immediate area. Our focus is broader than just preserving the rocks, trees and plants but preserving a culture as well.
