The Fitchburg Historical Society held its Annual Spring Meeting on March 29, 2026, featuring reports on past activities, board member approvals, and a detailed presentation on the history and ecological significance of the UW-Madison Arboretum. The meeting included approval of the secretary and treasurer reports and re-election of board members. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a guest speaker's comprehensive overview of the Arboretum's development, land acquisition, native plant gardens, and ongoing restoration and research efforts. While the discussion was rich in historical and environmental content, no procurement, contracting, or budget allocation activities were reported during this meeting.
