The Baraboo Range Preservation Association (BRPA) is a leading local organization dedicated to protecting the Baraboo Range, a unique exhumed mountain range composed of Precambrian Quartzite covering 144,000 acres in Sauk and Columbia Counties, Wisconsin. With a focus on preserving irreplaceable scenery, unique geology, healthy plant and animal habitat, and a rich tradition of land stewardship, BRPA works to ensure the conservation of this ancient rock outcrop and the largest tract of mostly unfragmented deciduous forest in the upper Midwest.
Home to over 1,800 species of plants and animals, including rare and endangered species, the Baraboo Range encompasses a diverse range of ecological habitats, from high, dry rock strata to cool steep valleys and ravines, dry and wet prairies, and marshes. Notable landmarks within the range include Devil's Lake, a state park preserving a deep gorge surrounded by cliffs of quartzite, and Natural Bridge State Park, which offers evidence of prehistoric human habitation. By engaging passionate individuals and fostering a deep appreciation for the Baraboo Range's natural and aesthetic resources, BRPA strives to safeguard this unique landscape for future generations.
