Thanks the Fund and its partners, more than 1,500 acres of Indiana's vital landscapes are now protected - preserving wildlife habitat, safeguarding water quality and enhancing recreation opportunities for all Americans.
Established in 2001 with a generous grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, the Great Lakes Revolving Fund enables The Conservation Fund to provide technical assistance and bridge financing to local land trusts. A recent loan enabled the Lake Heritage Parks Foundation to conserve 84 acres of wetlands and remnant oak savannah along the Oak Savannah Trail Greenway. Now managed by Lake County Parks and Recreation, the new public corridor connects to a popular eight-mile hiking and biking path.
