Preserving our Natural Heritage for Future Generations

Earlier this year, NEWLT received a donation of property from the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Cross, and we are excited to share that this property is now open as our newest public preserve! This preserve protects valuable forested land along Green Bay's east shore, and we hope it will be a valuable natural area for our community in addition to being a valuable habitat for all other species.

Last week, NEWLT partnered with Justin Key Photography for a workshop at Red Banks Alvar State Natural Area. While the primary focus was wildflowers (and the many insects we found on the wildflowers), our favorite image of the night was this majestic shot of Caden, our Freshwater Summer Scholar this year.
