Silverwood Park is honored to once again host Edgerton High School’s Freshman Summit on July 22. For nearly a decade, incoming freshmen have chosen Silverwood as a place to give back, with over 125 students, teachers, and mentors volunteering each year. Their efforts help maintain and improve the park’s natural spaces and historic buildings. We are grateful for their energy, teamwork, and commitment to community.

If you would like to volunteer to assist at this year's Freshman Summit, contact  Katie by email at katie@silverwoodpark.org or call 608-289-9627.

We are now accepting Vendor Applications for this year's August Harvest Fest. If you sell produce, plants, crafts, or other items, check it out! Click here to download the application.

Friends of Silverwood Park are looking to make a memory book of stories about Irene and Russell Silverwood. We have had stories shared with us about being her student in Edgerton HS, friends and neighbors' stories, memories from family members, or how the farm used to look. We appreciate having this Park today and would like to capture those memories from stories you write, record, or tell to our volunteers. We will figure out a way to get the memory to last.

Mail a copy of your written story (include photos if you have any) to FoSP at P. O. Box 304 Edgerton, WI 53534. Or email your story to info@silverwoodpark.org

Another way to get your stories would be to contact us and we’ll meet with you and take notes and type up your story or record what you have to say and use an app to type it...we’ll figure out some way to make it work! Contact Rita Fox at 715-623-7277.

Silverwood Park needs you!

 Volunteers are needed for specific events including a volunteer to organize the Barn Dance in June (secure the band and caller and organize the homemade pie sales).  Another volunteer is needed for organizing the Harvest Festival in September (arrange for entertainment, art/crafts booths, educational exhibits, and food), as well as a rental manager for the Stonehouse and North Shed (serve as contact person for potential renters, meet with renters, and coordinate arrangements for set up and clean up).

Have a skid steer?  Silverwood growers are seeking an individual or business with a skid-steer (and a trailer to haul) to turn the growers compost pile four times during the growing season (May to September).

Come see our latest addition for park visitors--signs explaining the Stonehouse history and the Agroforestry Demo Farm! Here's a blog post about the signs. Thanks, everyone who helped get this done!
