PARTNER WITH US

PARKS AND MUNICIPALITIES

We can partner with ANY PUBLIC PARK IN GEAUGA COUNTY, Ohio, to help fund projects local taxes often can't—like trail upgrades, exhibits, nature centers, and programs. Cities, villages, and townships have also received support for projects big and small.

SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION 

We partner with schools on nature education programs like Nature Scopes, and provide bus transportation grants so students can attend educational field trips at local parks. We also fund scholarships for high school students who will pursue nature-related careers.

BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS

We help businesses connect with consumers in Geauga County and surrounding areas through innovative promotional programs that provide maximum visibility with minimal effort from the sponsor. On large projects we help find ways for businesses to partner on projects that best benefit the community.
