What does it mean to be a community land trust? At Shirley Heinze Land Trust, we believe it is important to get to know the people in the communities where we work, and think more broadly about the role our conservation initiatives and programs have in weaving the fabric of our diverse region.
Celebrating 40 Years of Connecting Communities to Nature
From May 24-May 29, we’ll share video stories that celebrate our achievements and highlight exciting new initiatives that will launch the organization into the future. You’ll learn more about our work to promote climate resiliency, establish conservation destinations at Meadowbrook Nature Preserve in Valparaiso and Lydick Bog Nature Preserve in St. Joseph County and connect communities to nature throughout northwestern Indiana.
