The Bluffland Coalition

The Blufflands Coalition will establish an exceptional network of contiguous protected lands and recreation trails throughout the La Crosse-La Crescent region. Our cooperative efforts will enhance the health of residents, visitors, natural ecosystems, and our local economy.

The Blufflands Coalition was created in response to THE BLUFFLANDS - A Plan For Conservation and Recreation Throughout the La Crosse - La Crescent Region. The Blufflands Plan was developed in 2016 by the LAPC using a planning consultant and a steering committee. Its goals are improved public health, ecological diversity, connected communities, economic strength, and a high quality of life. All Blufflands Coalition members have approved a Memorandum of Understanding governing Blufflands Coalition operations.

La Crosse County Adventure Team

The La Crosse County Adventure Team provides kids (and their coaches) with a fun, non-competitive atmosphere to learn to be the best version of themselves through outdoor adventure. As a team, kids will discover the outdoors around them, overcoming age-appropriate challenges, supporting each other, and celebrating everyone’s successes on and off the bike. Dedicated volunteer coaches will lead weekly group rides that allow kids to explore their abilities, safely push their boundaries, and have fun while acquiring life-long skills and building resiliency that can be carried through other aspects of their lives. Not all kids will be at the same level, but they can work together as a team, building strong relationships with each other and encouraging each other along the way. We want to foster a growth mindset and teach the “power of yet” by showing kids that obstacles become easier to overcome if they keep practicing.
