At the west end of the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, just east of University Hospital, sits the home base for a 114-year-old federal effort to use our nation’s forests more efficiently. The lab, run by the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is home to researchers studying nearly everything wood-related, from ways to make wooden buildings and products more resistant to fire, weather and bugs, to ways to make innovative plastic-like products from bits of wood and agricultural waste.

We will meet in the lobby where you can view displays showcasing the history of the lab. The one-hour tour will include tours of several research areas. This is a rare opportunity to see this facility!

The Madison College Retirees Association was founded in 1999 and helps Retirees remain connected to the college and colleagues while enjoying the freedom and independence of retirement.

Once you join, you are invited to gather with us regularly. An annual Welcome Back Breakfast is held every September. Then quarterly, retirees gather for coffee and treats, conversation and great programs. Programs range from innovative college staff presentations, insurance options to tours. Retirees are welcome to bring a friend. It’s a good way to keep in touch with people and a place that have meant so much to all of us.

Membership is just $25 per year.

Contact foundation@madisoncollege.edu for more information.

If you would like an obituary shared with the retiree email list, please request this by emailing foundation@madisoncollege.edu and include a link for the obituary.
