Overview

Mission

To conserve, restore, and promote the sustainable use and enjoyment of our natural resources including soil, air, woods, water, and wildlife.

What it reported doing in 2025

Conservation of natural flora and fauna and support of local civic activities in their enjoyment - maintain a 123-acre natural park-like property having wooded, grassy, and water spaces along with service buildings for equipment and recreational pursuits. Conduct a number of scientific surveys of local streams and creeks in the Save Our Streams and the Salt watch programs. These results are shared with nationally tracked databases.During the active growing season, this entails using organizational volunteers to mow the grassy areas, remove invasive weed growth, and trim the overgrowth near fences and wood lines. The property serves as an ecological sanctuary inside a growing suburban community that supports a variety of wildlife, including bear, deer, beaver, otter, fish, waterfowl, hawks, eagles, and reptiles such as turtles and snakes. Maintenance of the property requires the purchase of equipment like mowers, trimmers, and chainsaws, accompanied by fuel, battery, and repair costs. The property hosts a variety of civic activities, including active support for scouts (boy, girl, cub, etc.) and 4-H youth. Training is provided in archery, fly-fishing, and shooting sports. Buildings supporting the operation of the property are used for meetings, events, and the storage and maintenance of equipment. Firearms and archery ranges serve organizations and members for safety training for firearms and archery, and recreational and competitive shooting. Occasional maintenance is also required on these ranges, including providing remote video monitoring for the management, security, and safety of risks associated with firearms range activity.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 76% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
