Restoring ecosystems, inspiring stewardship, and advancing conservation through five interconnected elements
To restore habitats and provide opportunities that inspire exploration and stewardship.
Our work is guided by five interconnected elements that together create a comprehensive approach to conservation, education, and community engagement. Each element supports and strengthens the others, creating a holistic model for environmental stewardship.
Converting 510 acres from agricultural fields back into a mosaic of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Planting thousands of native trees annually and removing invasive species.
Award-winning FREE programs serving over 3,000 students annually. Hands-on field trips and community programs that inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
Comprehensive ecological studies tracking wetland health, wildlife populations, and ecosystem restoration success. Data-driven conservation informing land management across the Great Lakes region.
Restoration Agriculture that combines conservation with sustainable farming. Supporting 25 local farmers while building healthy soils and pioneering cold-tolerant rice research.
Make a difference! Help with land restoration, lead field trips, work events, or assist at the front desk. All experience levels welcome.
