At last count over 25 Wisconsin land trusts have registered for Rally in October. We’re really excited that so many of our member land trusts are seizing this excellent opportunity to learn from each other and the national faculty that make it all possible.
As we announced on this blog last week, Gathering Waters Conservancy was able to offer eight Rally scholarships this year. We’re pleased to report that we’ve added to this number through our Land Trust Excellence & Advancement Program partnership with the Land Trust Alliance. The following groups received an Alliance scholarship:
- Bayfield Regional Land Conservancy
- Kettle Moraine Land Trust
- Milwaukee River Greenway Coalition
- Milwaukee Urban Gardens
- North Avenue Marketplace BID 32
- Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust
- North Central Conservancy Trust
- Ozaukee Washington Land Trust
- River Revitalization Foundation
All told, at least 17 Wisconsin land trusts are receiving some well-deserved assistance with Rally costs. Thanks go to the generous donors who make LEAP possible.
We can’t wait to see each of these Wisconsin land trusts and more at Rally in Milwaukee on October 13-16. You’ll have endless opportunities to learn in workshops, get outside together, share with colleagues, and hear some pretty spectacular plenary speakers including Milwaukee’s own Will Allen while we’re there.
If you haven’t already, here’s your chance to register.
We promise you’ll get your money’s worth and feel reminded of why we love our important work.
