Happy from...where?

Each Friday this month we will post a picture of a NICHES preserve and invite you to guess where it was taken in the comments below.

Participants who guess correctly will be entered to win a “Protect Native Habitats” Box Turtle t-shirt and a one-year NICHES membership!

Winners will be announced at the end of the month.

Good luck!

Here at NICHES, public access is at the core of what we do. In fact, it has been for the last 31 years.

By providing trails and waterway access points for our friends and community members, we can show people exactly why we work so hard to protect these special places, and inspire them to get involved.

This month, thanks to a generous Birthday Campaign match pledge, your gift will go twice as far to conserve the trails and natural areas you love.

From forests to prairies, your impact lives here!

For 31 years, NICHES Land Trust has protected places that define our region: quiet forests, vibrant prairies, and winding waterways.

These aren’t just landscapes, they’re the places you explore, reflect, and connect.

This June, every gift you give helps protect more of the places you love – and thanks to a generous 1:1 match, your impact will go twice as far.

Celebrate NICHES' birthday with a gift to nature 🌱

We recently had one spot open back up in our third week of Adventure Camp (June 15-19) that we'd like to get filled ASAP. Week 3 of camp is exclusivly for residents of Warren and Fountain Counties and is being offered free of charge with funding through the Wabash Blueway program.

Camp is for youth ages 11–14 and offers a fun, hands-on outdoor experience where campers explore local nature preserves, learn about wildlife and conservation from regional experts, hike, climb, play games, float, and build connections with the natural world.

A huge thank you to Connor Hanthorn for completing an incredible Eagle Scout Project at our Stewardship Facility!

Connor led a tree planting project that brought together volunteers and employees from Mulhaupts to plant and cage 400 native trees at the site🌳

This project was made possible through support from the Warren County Community Foundation and Mulhaupt’s 150th Anniversary Celebration initiative, where they committed to planting more than 150 trees in honor of this milestone anniversary.

We are so grateful for the hard work, leadership, and community partnership that made this project possible. These native trees will benefit wildlife, improve habitat, and help steward this special place for generations to come.

We love the organic partnership between NICHES and Purdue!

Through programs like NRES Purdue and Purdue Forestry and Natural Resources, we’ve connected with some incredible conservationists, and we’re proud to help inspire the next generation along the way.
