Restoring Lands is an accredited Land Trust. Our mission is to protect, connect, and restore Southeast Wisconsin’s lands and waters for the benefit of all. We envision a living landscape of restored lands and waters, where nature and community connect, and the promise of open spaces endures for generations to come. Restoring Lands manages over 7,000 acres of land in the Milwaukee River Basin and beyond, including over 50 conservation easements and 35+ preserves that are free and open to the public year-round from dawn until dusk. We offer weekly volunteer opportunities throughout the year, from community science opportunities to invasive species removal and native seed, plug, whip, shrub and tree planting.
