The tour is mostly birds. But they were fun to learn about. Wear bug spray or you'll be eaten alive! We were able to see the injured deer on camera & watch a baby squirrel feeding in the nursery through the glass window! Inside they had some snakes & turtles.

As a DNR registered recycling collector, Good News Project’s E-Cycling Program provides a resource in Central Wisconsin to help keep electronic waste out of landfills by collecting and safely recycling outdated electronics. Valuable resources are reclaimed, toxins are kept out of our air and water, and nothing ends up in the landfill. In 2020 and 2024, our E-Cycling collection program was awarded an Electronics Collection Excellence Award by the Wisconsin DNR. Our Health Equipment Lending Program (HELP) loans durable medical equipment like walkers, wheelchairs, and hospital beds to those in our community. Donated equipment is safety checked, repaired if needed, and sent through an industrial sanitizing machine and absorbed into the inventory of equipment, ready for lending to clients. HELP was mentioned in the Harvard Health Letter in March 2020 as being an accessible and user-friendly resource for people with durable medical equipment needs. Good News Project facilitates international trips for volunteers with a heart for service. These trips to the West Indies focus on providing housing, education for sustainable living, and companionship for the poor. Due to travel restraints, service trips have been put on hold until 2024, though our efforts continue via donations of health equipment and other relief supplies.
