Spending time in nature!
The value of being outdoors is priceless. Natural space promotes curiosity in kids, creates bonding time for families, and melts away the stress. Having the opportunity and access to these great resources is critical. The same space is just as vital for the wildlife species that live there.
The Foundation is supported by volunteers, grants, and donations. The funds raised by the Foundation will help support at-risk species, the discoveries of new species, our future biologist, and so many more conservation and outdoor recreational efforts!

Nature does not stop!
Habitat is important for all species, and the value that aquatic habitat has is essential to survival of all species, as the species that live within that ecosystem work to provide clean water that supports all wildlife and people, promotes healthy plant life which helps to protect our water resources, and additionally provides clean air.

Curious Critters
River otters are some of the most curious of species, and they are very nearsighted, so it is not uncommon for them to approach boats and people. River otters are important predators in the aquatic ecosystem because they reduce undesirable fish populations that compete with cold-water game fish for food.
