Saving land is a critical tool for conservation that often carries high price tags and emotional connections with it. We live to tell these unique and engaging stories and applaud the land trusts that do this so well. We’ve noticed recently that Wisconsin land trusts are telling their stories in many different venues. We’re so impressed!
Glacial Lakes Conservancy is the local non-profit land trust for Sheboygan, Manitowoc, Kewaunee, Calumet and Fond du Lac Counties – a big territory spearheaded by one very dedicated executive director. For Glacial Lakes, online communications tools are essential for success.
Glacial Lakes Conservancy’s new website offers the land trust an opportunity to make their stories front and center. “GLC’s refreshed website features our Grasshopper Hill Preserve project as well as our partnership in the the Lake Michigan Shorelands Alliance as one of the land trusts of the Lake Michigan Basin,” notes the Conservancy’s executive director, Vickie Hall. She adds, “This project is exciting for us because it represents GLC’s first campaign to purchase, own and manage land.”
The Ozaukee Washington Land Trust has also recently invested in its events calendar to engage its donors and supporters in their fun and challenging work on-the-ground. We have also eagerly followed the Facebook news from Ice Age Trail Alliance, Bayfield Regional Conservancy, Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust, Tall Pines Conservancy, and River Revitalization Foundation, among many others. Mississippi Valley Conservancy has created its own YouTube channel where it posts videos about its work protecting the blufflands, prairies, wetlands, and streams in southwestern Wisconsin.
