Where is Quarry Hill Conservancy Located?
Quarry Hill Conservancy is located just south of Terrace Avenue, between Aurora Street and High Point Road, extending up the hill to Hillcrest Avenue. It is visible from all over downtown Middleton. And from the air, it is obvious just how much green space this area lends to our City.
Quarry Hill Conservancy can be seen and enjoyed from downtown Middleton and beyond.
For now.
Proposed development along its northern boundary would forever change the conservancy.

The mission of Friends of Quarry Hill Conservancy is to protect the conservancy from further destruction from encroaching development.
A community of neighbors, we are dedicated to maintaining the land and advocating for its continued survival as a valuable part of the City of Middleton.
This solitary natural green space is the last remaining urban canopy in downtown Middleton, providing beautiful views and a valuable wooded wildlife habitat.
You’re invited to be a part of its restoration story!
