For nearly a decade, the Village of DeForest has been developing a plan to construct a mountain bike trail. Residents opposed an initial site proposed in 2016 because of potential environmental impact concerns on nearby wildlife. This conservation plan for a parcel of land acquired specifically for mountain bike trail development addresses stream quality, the restoration of woodland habitiat, and improvements to the wetland ecosystem.
