Adopt A Preserve
Southeast Wisconsin Land Conservancy
The Adopt a Preserve program at Southeast Wisconsin Land Conservancy offers individuals, families, businesses and community groups the opportunity to get involved with conservation efforts in a hands-on way. By “adopting” a preserve, you can help to maintain the natural beauty and ecological integrity of one of our protected lands, while also connecting with nature and building a sense of community
Adopting a preserve is easy! First, contact our staff to see what sites are available to adopt. Then, work with our staff to develop a plan for how you can best contribute. This may include activities such as trash pickup, trail maintenance, invasive species removal, fundraising or other projects that help to enhance the natural integrity of the preserve.
Benefits of Adopting a Preserve
