At Schlitz Audubon, our land provides the basis for everything we do. Our conservation of these forests, ponds, prairies, and Lake Michigan shoreline is of paramount importance. With the help of community volunteers, we work to improve, restore, and rejuvenate these 185 acres to provide a more resplendent habitat for native and migratory wildlife.
