A Note from the D irector

Since my children were very young, my wife and I have immersed them in nature, hoping they’ll embrace Aldo Leopold’s view of land as something to “be loved and respected” and “an extension of ethics.” And yet, as climate change accelerates, my concern intensifies for their future and for the state of our ecosystems.

I remain steadfast in my commitment to focus on what we can do together — personally, spiritually, and professionally — to stay positive, action-oriented, and hopeful.

This commitment and these values aren’t just mine. They’re shared by our whole team at NRF, and by a community of people like you. We’re all dedicated to leaving Wisconsin better than we found it. Which is why I’m so proud of the work we do here at the Foundation, and so grateful for your partnership in conservation.

Our new strategic plan resonates deeply with these shared values.

We aim to forge resilient landscapes amid a changing climate and ensure that all people and communities have access to the Wonders of our natural World. We believe these two strategies will help ensure a more equitable, beautiful, and sustainable future for our kids, and for the generations that follow.

Throughout history, communities have triumphed over threats. With your support and partnership, I’m confident we can confront the range of challenges we face and create a world that our children will thrive in.

Thank you for your commitment to conservation. Together, we shape tomorrow’s legacy.

OUR MISSION

To protect Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife by providing funding, leading partnerships, and connecting all people with nature.

OUR VISION

To ensure Wisconsin’s flourishing ecosystems are protected, sustained, and cherished by diverse communities.

OUR 2024-2027 STRATEGIC PLAN

The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin has played a critical role in the conservation of our state’s natural wonders for nearly four decades. Building on our past impact, we have crafted a new vision and direction for our next four years of work. We are strengthening our focus on landscape-scale conservation and our commitment to equitable access to nature, while ensuring that we have the team and resources needed to achieve our ambitious goals. Our new plan has three strategic priorities that will guide our work:

Protect Wisconsin’s lands, waters, and wildlife by facilitating landscape-scale conservation in Wisconsin and supporting a strong network of partners

Engage diverse communities in conservation by increasing access to NRF’s outdoor experiences, connecting diverse communities to nature, and creating and growing professional pathways into the conservation field

Strengthen our capacity to achieve our mission by strengthening and diversifying our teams, improving our internal systems, and expanding financial support

TIPS FOR NEW BIRDWATCHERS

Interested in taking up birdwatching (also known as birding) as a hobby? Spring is a great time to get out there. We have a few tips to get you started!

TIP #1: START EASY.

When you begin your birdwatching journey, certain types of birds are better ‘starters’ than others. Birds that are bigger bodied, slow moving, and allow for close viewing are ideal for honing your identification skills. Look no further than waterfowl! Many ducks can be viewed close to shore and have unique identification features.

TIP #2: GO BIRDING WITH EXPERIENCED BIRDWATCHERS.

If you are new to the hobby, it can be a bit overwhelming to go out alone on a mid-May morning when warblers are dripping from the trees. But joining an experienced birdwatcher in the field or an organized birdwatching trip can provide some valuable lessons on ID and help boost your confidence. There are many groups such as the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology,

BIPOC Birding Club of Wisconsin, and of course NRF Field Trips that offer birding excursions led by local experts.

TIP #3: LEARN BIRD VOCALIZATIONS.

Many birds are secretive and difficult to see, and sometimes learning their songs is the only way to confirm their presence. Use online resources to learn the songs of your local birds. When you hear an unfamiliar bird song, take the time to track down that bird. You can also associate words or phrases with certain songs, known as mnemonics. “Sweet, sweet, little more sweet” says the yellow warbler.

TIP #4: GET TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL PATCH.

You don’t need to drive across the state to see birds. Birds can be found anywhere. Focusing on the birds in your neighborhood tunes you in to the seasonal rhythm of birds and nature, also known as phenology. It also reduces your carbon footprint and provides exercise. Sometimes you even get to know individual birds. It’s fun to have a more personal relationship with your feathered neighbors!

The Great Wisconsin Birdathon is April 15 through June 15! Form a team, go birding and help Wisconsin’s birds at Wisconservation.org/WIBirdathon

FROM PLAYSTATION TO POTAWATOMI STATE PARK

HOW CAMPING TRANSFORMED MY LIFE

Abridged from wisconservation.org/blog

My name is Jonathan Coronado. I’m a recent graduate of Escuela Verde High School in Milwaukee. I received a Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin grant to take students from Escuela Verde on a camping trip.

When I was younger I didn’t do much, I barely liked going outside. That didn’t get any better when I got my PS4— I didn’t want to go to school, hated talking to people, and preferred to play video games. However, when I went to Esc I started to get bored with just playing games. I wanted something different. I became interested in trying and exploring new things in my life, like traveling and exploring and just trying to enjoy my time being alive.

A pivotal experience that changed me was going camping at school in June of 2022. After that, I wanted to do anything that involved camping. I just feel more relaxed when camping and I found that I sleep better when sleeping in a tent, on the ground. I feel camping is good because it can disconnect you from technology and reconnect you to nature.

As a senior at Escuela Verde I had to do a senior thesis project that tried to impact an issue or problem. I did research for my project and found that camping is shown to increase physical health, reduce stress, and help build confidence. Undeniably, the research backed up what I had experienced.

So, I decided to take more students camping. I was so

happy to get the grant [from NRF] to help pay for our camping trips. I helped my teachers lead a camping trip in June 2023 to Potawatomi State Park. I helped the younger students set up their tents, build a fire, cook food, and go canoeing.

I am passionate about this topic because I found that it helped me at a time when I felt I hit a roadblock in my life. I think that this camping trip made an impact on the other students, too.

Here are some quotes that I gathered [from the younger students] about the trip: Being able to camp and go on trips makes me Want to come to school. -Antony I Was really nervous about camping but it’s been really fun. I really like everyone Who came on the trip. -Dede

This is the best experience of my whole life. I can’t wait to come back! -Christopher

PEOPLE’S CHOICE

“American Avocets” by Todd Leech (Racine County)

“North Beach in Racine County has alWays been one of my favorite beaches for shorebirds like these American avocets. When I arrived at the beach, I spotted a handful of avocets scurrying along the beach, When all of a sudden, a bigger flock fleW in and landed With the others. In total there Was 25 of them. My favorite thing about nature in Wisconsin is there is such a variety of birds that pass through our state, and at times, you never knoW What’s going to shoW up.”

“ Listen to nature. It is talking.

LET’S GO ON A BUMBLE BEE WALK

Let’s go on a bumble bee walk! I’ll be your guide. I’m Elizabeth Braatz, the Bumble Bee Brigade Coordinator and Terrestrial Insect Ecologist with the Department of Natural Resources. We run the Bumble Bee Brigade, a participatory science program that relies on people like you to submit bumble bee photos to the DNR website.

First, let’s check the weather outside. Becoming a bumble bee observer is a great choice for nature lovers who enjoy sleeping in, because the best days and times to look for pollinators are beautiful, warm, sunny days. Although, I’ve actually seen bees after a rain, too. They get really wet and bedraggled — it’s quite funny — but sunny days will get you more bees.

Is it sunny? Warm? Now that sounds like a perfect day for a walk. Grab a camera and a water bottle, and let’s go. Don’t worry if you don’t have a fancy camera — cell phones work just fine.

We need to decide on a place to go. Think of your local neighborhood. Where can you find flowers? This could be your yard, a local garden, a state park, or more. Head over to that area and keep your

eyes open for bumble bees.

Wait — did you see that? A round, fuzzy critter, flying fast and buzzing — we found our first bumble bee! And there’s another one! And another! Quick, photograph them!

TIPS :

Focus on only one bee at a time.

Get your phone or camera ready, go to a patch of flowers, and wait until the bee lands.

Try taking a series of several photos rather than one photo of each bee. Try to get shots of that bee’s face, back, and side — it makes identification much easier later.

After we’ve gotten all the bee photos we want and filled up half our phone space with bees, it’s time to head back and view our haul. Then, we’ll upload them to the Bumble Bee Brigade website (see below) so that we DNR biologists can improve our understanding, management, and conservation Wisconsin bumble bees.

Thank you for helping keep the pollinators buzzing!

Manoomin is a part of our story, and a part of who we are. It’s a sacred being - it’s not just food, it has a spirit and we all believe that.

RESTORING WILD RICE AT SPUR LAKE

Wild rice, known as manoomin (which means “the good berry”) has long provided physical and spiritual sustenance to the Ojibwe people. At Spur Lake State Natural Area in Oneida County, it was also a dependable food source for wildlife, especially migrating waterfowl.

That is, up until the early 2000’s. “After that, there was just no rice at all anymore,” said Tina L. Van Zile, Environmental Director of the Sokaogon Chippewa.

The absence of wild rice at Spur Lake was felt deeply. For the last 20 years, people have not harvested at Spur Lake. Blue-winged teals have not gotten those calories to fuel their migration. Loons have not used it for nesting material. The whole community of life has been affected.

But recently, there’s been more hope for wild rice. For the last several years, NRF has supported the Spur Lake Working Group, a partnership with the Sokaogon Chippewa Community and other tribes, the Wisconsin DNR, the Great Lakes Indian Fish

and Wildlife Commission, and others with support from the Brico Fund. Together, the group has been working to reestablish wild rice and make Spur Lake more resilient to a changing climate.

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and western science have both informed this project. The work has included clearing competing vegetation (such as lily pads) around the lake and seeding wild rice in sets of test plots. The group is also trying to remedy the unusually-high water levels, because wild rice struggles to grow in deep water.

The first year of wild rice re-seeding took place in 2022, and the team is already seeing some glimmers of hope.

“I felt like seeing rice growing in our plots [this summer] where we had seeded it was a success. Seeing small achievements is a big deal, and that encourages us to keep working on it,” said Carly Lapin, a WDNR Ecologist with the Spur Lake Working Group.

Thank you for supporting this collaborative project!

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

YOUR IMPACT ACROSS WISCONSIN

Thanks to our members and supporters, NRF funds conservation projects all over Wisconsin. From the pine forests of the Northwoods to the oak savannas of the Driftless Area, from the Mississippi River to the Great Lakes, you’re making a difference.

In 2023, you helped fund 219 projects totaling $948,533! Each project was selected because it has a significant positive impact on one or more of NRF’s

three primary impact areas: lands and waters conservation, wildlife conservation, and environmental education. We also support projects that build climate resiliency for Wisconsin’s landscapes, plus projects that help make conservation and outdoor recreation accessible to everyone.

Thank you to our grant recipients and donors for making this all possible!

Nature Camp for Oneida Youth

Hosted on 3,000 acres of restored forest, prairie, and wetland, the Oneida Nation summer camp offered three days of adventure, conservation, and cultural education for 11 youth campers. The excitement kicked off on day one as the campers embarked on a nature walk at Trout Creek wetland. After lunch, the group traveled to Coyote Run where they had their Oneida daily teaching on sweatlodges and learned about net sweeping of insects in a wet prairie. The following days consisted of bird watching, plants and pollinators studies, art projects, and more cultural teachings. Funded by NRF’s Go Outside Fund via the NEW Audubon Society.

Wisconsin State Parks are Buzzing

Bees, butterflies, birds… we love them all. Through a project dubbed “Pollinators in the Parks,” NRF and the Wisconsin DNR have teamed up to create and enhance pollinator plantings at many state park properties, including Aztalan State Park, Brunet Island State Park, Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area, Copper Falls State Park, Hank Aaron State Trail, Harrington Beach State Park, Pattison State Park, Peninsula State Park, and Wyalusing State Park.
