Taylar Foster, Executive Director

Taylar got involved in the Friends of Devil’s Lake shortly after moving back to Wisconsin from Vermont, when she was reacquainted with the park as a climber and trail runner. Taylar served on the board of directors before being hired as the Executive Director.

Her past work experiences include the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Wisconsin Department of Tourism - Office of Outdoor Recreation, as a land use planner, and at nonprofit and for-profit farms.

Taylar is always up for a new outdoor adventure, whether it’s on or in the water, camping, hiking, or cross-country skiing, and can trace her earliest swimming memories to Devil's Lake State Park. Originally from Portage, she now lives in Madison. She has a Bachelor of Science degree from Edgewood University and a Master of Science degree from UW-Madison's Department of Urban and Regional Planning.

Taylar is passionate about getting people to experience outdoor recreation in whatever way they most enjoy it as well as preserving and protecting our natural resources. Contact Taylar here.
