This video by DNR’s Bureau of Natural Heritage Conservation is all about our Endangered Resources in Wisconsin. We are proud to support Natural Heritage Conservation (NHC) and to partner with DNR to protect these Endangered Resources.
Since 1986 the Natural Resources Foundation has contributed:
- $1,905,744 to NHC in support of public lands and waters projects (primarily State Natural Areas);
- $1,475,717 to NHC in support of species of greatest conservation need (threatened, endangered, declining, etc.).
We have played a major role in supporting:
- Wisconsin River Valley
- Northern Highlands
- Whooping cranes
- Oak savannas
- Wood turtle
- Kirtland’s warblers
- Bats
- Trumpeter swans
We have also played a more minor role with:
- Karner blue butterfly
- Spring peeper and northern cricket frog and Wisconsin Frog and Toad Survey
