We Need you
Get Involved with the GLC
As an all-volunteer, non-profit Land Trust we need you to achieve our mission. With your help, we can continue to protect our special places and bring awareness to the environment together. You can support in multiple ways such as volunteer work, donating land to the conservancy, monetary donations or attending GLC events. With your support, you can help the Green Lake Conservancy preserve and protect Green Lake’s special places.
Volunteer Your Time
Preserving the special places around Green Lake is no easy task, so we are always in need of volunteers to lend a hand. Site work on our properties including buckthorn removal, prescribed burns, trail marking, and boardwalk/bridge repair are always needed. If the physical work is not your specialty there are other ways to help such as event planning, mailing list maintenance, and special project assistance. Please contact us if you are interested in sharing your time and talents with us.
Make a Donation
We rely on private donations in order to be able to provide land conservation services. With your help, we can continue to maintain our special places and seek out new properties. There are many ways that you can donate–one-time or annual monetary donations, donations of stocks or securities, including GLC in your estate plans or donations in honor or memory of another individual.
Please consider making a donation today.
Donate or Conserve Your Land
Landowners have a deep connection to their land and know the gifts undeveloped properties provide their communities: clean air and water, fresh food, wildlife habitat, and sheer scenic beauty.
All-too-often these special places disappear forever because of development. Many landowners are taking a stand to safeguard the places they love— productive farms, ranch land, forests, wetlands, coastlines— for their family and for future generations
The state of Wisconsin has facilitated private land stewardship by legislation that helps landowners maintain the right to enjoy what is special about their property while decreasing their tax burden and allowing them to realize some financial gain from their good stewardship.
Attend GLC Events
The Green Lake Conservancy periodically hosts events and work days at our properties. Sometimes these events are designed to get families, community members and visitors to explore the special and often unknown, natural and historical features of the Green Lake area. Other times, these events bring groups together to help maintain our properties as a community. Please join us at our events.
