Sharing Our Story with TREES Inc.

Ouabache Land Conservancy was honored to be featured at November’s TREES Inc. meeting, held at ReTHink Inc. Board member Dr. Jim Nardi served as guest speaker, sharing about OLC’s work to protect and restore natural areas across west-central Indiana, with a special focus on Atherton Island Natural Area.

Jim highlighted the diversity of trees found on the preserve and the vital role they play in sustaining healthy ecosystems. As both a scientist and conservationist, he brought deep insight into how native trees form the foundation of our region’s natural heritage.

Attendees also enjoyed a delicious lunch of chana masala, adding warmth and hospitality to a thoughtful afternoon of learning and connection.

We’re grateful to TREES Inc. for the invitation and to ReTHink Inc. for hosting. Partnerships like these strengthen the shared roots of our conservation community and remind us how much can grow when local organizations come together.
