Welcome to February!
It’s a perfect time to talk about our shared love of the natural world! Everything we do here at the ELC is designed to foster human connections to nature. Propelled by our strengthened emotional connection, we hope to inspire a renewed commitment to learning, growing, and acting as stewards for the precious ecosystems we call home.
At the heart of what we do is a simple belief: nature isn’t just a place you visit; it’s a connection you feel. This month, we’ve curated experiences that span the spectrum from high-energy adventure to quiet, artistic reflection.
I often see visitors arrive here at the ELC with their shoulders tight and their eyes on their phones, only to see them return from a paddle, boat ride or walk with a completely different posture – relaxed, present, and restored. That transformation is exactly why we are here.
Thank you for being part of our story. Your support ensures these boardwalk trails stay open, these waters stay protected, and these connections stay strong.
Yours in Service,
Barbara Schlitt Ford
