The UWM Field Station invites researchers and instructors to use its research and educational facilities. At the main Station property, located in Saukville, Wisconsin, UWM owns 320 acres. Our property is adjacent to the Cedarburg Bog State Natural Area, so we have almost 2,000 acres of undisturbed, high-quality natural communities available for teaching and research. These include the Cedarburg Bog, one of the largest and most biologically interesting wetlands in southern Wisconsin, the Sapa Bog, an acidic black spruce bog, and an old growth beech-maple forest. In addition to the Cedarburg Bog Unit, the Field Station manages five outlying properties (including Neda Mine and Benedict Prairie) and the Downer Woods on the UWM campus.

The Friends of the Cedarburg Bog is a non-profit group whose mission is to help preserve and study the Cedarburg Bog and to make the public more aware of its uniqueness. The Friends sponsor public events and volunteer workdays and publish a quarterly newsletter.
