July 24th Celebration 
 Discover and explore Ozaukee County's natural treasures on July 24th ending at Forest Beach Migratory Preserve for a free, family-friendly celebration. Everyone knows Ozaukee County is rich in natural sites and resources, but most people have seen only a few of these up close. This day will change that with a wonderful celebration that invites everyone to come and discover what lies be-yond. Treasures will provide great opportunities for photos, birding, biking and geo-caching as well as hiking, taking in the fresh air and getting a little smarter. The adventure ends for the day with food, music, a silent auction and a chance to win prizes.

The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man.
