Introducing Restoring Lands: A Wisconsin Land Trust
Our mission is to protect, connect, and restore southeast Wisconsin’s lands and waters for the benefit of all.
Restoring Lands is the result of a thoughtful and strategic two-year merger between the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust and River Revitalization Foundation. Together, we are expanding our workforce and elevating programming to protect nature, provide wildlife habitat, and support community well-being throughout Washington, Ozaukee, and Milwaukee counties.
Currently, this newly merged team owns and actively manages 36+ nature preserves that are open to the public, free of charge; and oversees 100+ conservation easements totaling over 7,000 acres that are protected into perpetuity.
Please stay tuned as we announce changes to our website, launch new merch, and share updates to our social media channels. If you aren’t already receiving our emails, please consider subscribing to our newsletter below.
LAND PROTECTION
Land trusts are non-profit, non-governmental conservation organizations that actively work to protect natural resources through partnerships with public and private landowners. These community-based organizations are run by local people having a shared passion for preserving their communities’ natural heritage. Land Trusts are created to protect land and water resources for the benefit of the public.
