The last couple of days have been busy at the Court House garden. Oneida County Buildings and Grounds put in a platform for a picnic area and Hanson’s Garden Village laid a pervious trail through the flower bed. They also put in some compost soil and mulch. Attached are some pictures of the work in progress.
So….We are planting on June 27th! We are excited to invite everybody to join us in the fun. We’ll start at 9am. The garden is located on the East Side of the Oneida County Court House on S Baird Ave in Rhinelander. Call us at 715-369-7835 if you can help us plant or just show up and dig right in!!!
THANK YOU!

Donate a Deer! The Deer Donation Program provides a great opportunity to help families in need this fall.
The program continues Wisconsin's autumn tradition of helping those in need. Since the program began in 2000, hunters have donated over 90,000 deer which were processed into over 3.6 million pounds of ground venison. In addition to Oneida County, Wisconsin has a network of venison donation partners including: other county land and water conservation departments, food pantries, charitable organizations, Hunt for the Hungry, USDA - Wildlife Services and participating processors who all help implement and administer the program. If you would like to donate your deer, please go to the website below and follow the directions. http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/donation.html |
Currently in Oneida County, there are two processors in the Deer Donation Program. They are: Lake Tomahawk Custom Processing, 7259 State Highway 47 and TJ's Butcher Block, 8796 Packing Plant Road, Minocqua.

Wisconsin is "fluttering"

Over the last few weeks, Northern Wisconsin has been fluttering with Painted Ladies. People who have planted late-blooming flowers in their gardens should take a look. Take special note of our locally growing native species, like Purple Asters on the left! Painted Ladies (butterflies) love asters!
Watch the video of a Painted Lady feeding on a Zinnia below, shot by our own Oneida County Conservationist. Click on the Painted Lady Feeding button. You can also read about the recent problem in Denver caused by butterflies. Click on the Butterflies button. |
