Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin

The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin (NRF) helps protect our state’s lands, waters, and wildlife by providing strategic funding, leading conservation partnerships, and connecting all people to nature. NRF invests over $1 million each year into conservation and environmental education and leads several diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts for Wisconsin’s conservation community. NRF also helps people explore the outdoors by coordinating 250+ expert-led Field Trips each year to Wisconsin’s most special places and hosts The Great Wisconsin Birdathon, the state’s largest fundraiser for bird conservation.

NRF is based in Madison, Wisconsin around four lakes and the ancestral home of the Ho Chunk Nation. The Fox (Meskwaki) and Sauk tribes also lived in the area. We strive to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive conservation organization.
