With your help we will continue to make great strides. The staff and many volunteers have worked hard to continue the restoration of native habitats and create new opportunities for hands-on environmental education and research. As always, we work with one objective in mind: to lead students of all ages to a greater understanding of our natural world and thereby foster decisions respectful of God’s beautiful creation. Thank you, once again, for making that possible.

Member Supported Projects

Over 4000 K-12 students participated in field trips to Saint John's Arboretum this school year. Grants and membership support help bridge transportation costs for area schools.

Student naturalists continue expanding our K-12 environmental education program.  They continuing to improve portable environmental teaching kits for Kindergarten through 5th grade students to help reinforce the information learned at Saint John's Arboretum.

Over 1500 individual woodland wildflowers were planted in the hardwood forest section of the boardwalk trail loop. 

Prescribed burns are completed during the fall and spring when conditions are right. These burns promote the health and beauty of the prairie and oak savanna.

Restoration of over 100 species of native ground layer plants in our oak savanna is now completed on 20 acres.
