MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Help out “Happy Little Trees” this spring.
The Wisconsin DNR reminds the public that registration is open for the Run for the Trees: Happy Little 5K inspired by artist Bob Ross.
This is a virtual event with proceeds benefiting tree health and protection. Participants can walk, run, skate, scooter, cycle or use a mobility device to complete the 5K race at an outdoor location of their choosing between April 18-26.
When registrants select Wisconsin as the state they wish to represent at sign-up, a portion of the $36 registration fee will go toward tree planting and forest health efforts to combat threats from invasive species in Wisconsin state parks and forests.
Suggested 5K routes at state parks, forests, trails and recreation areas are available on the DNR’s OutWiGo webpage.
