Spring Green Campus Virtual Tour
The Savanna Institute manages a network of agroforestry demonstration farms in Spring Green, WI. Located in the Driftless Area along the lower Wisconsin River, the Spring Green Campus is surrounded by a vibrant community of farmers and land stewards who help us research, demonstrate, and educate the public about agroforestry. On Saturday, October 5th, we’ll host our Spring Green Campus Open House with farm tours, perennial foods, live music, and a cider press at our North Farm. Join us at this free event, register here.
