Sherwood, Wisconsin
In April of 1997, High Cliff State Park staff announced that a meeting would be held to see if anyone would be interested in forming a volunteer group to help support projects and programs that could otherwise not be accomplished by dwindling budgets and reduced park staff.
It should not have been a surprise to see how many people from the community showed up. The meeting room was packed full of people of all ages who wanted to volunteer to help the park.
Two weeks later, the Friends of High Cliff State Park was officially on its way to becoming one of Wisconsin's most ambitious and well respected, non-profit Friends of Wisconsin State Park organizations. We were awarded the prestigious, "Wisconsin Friends Group of the Year" award for 2006.
High Cliff State Park is located in the village of Sherwood, Wisconsin on the northeast shores of Lake Winnebago. Map
