Who We Are

Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust was founded in 1996 to preserve and restore the natural heritage of northeast Wisconsin lands and waters.

We are a non-profit, publicly supported organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Service under section 501(c)(3). The Land Trust receives its financial support from citizen contributions and from private and public sector grants. Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust is eligible for Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources grants for projects that qualify under the state’s Stewardship, River Protection and Lake Protection programs.

In a world where progress is measured by the acres of land cleared, the number of buildings erected, the conveniences humans may have, not  enough thought is given to preserving our greatest treasure —the land itself.
