2021 was a whirlwind for OLT, as we learned lessons from 2020’s onset of COVID and how we could move forward with our stewardship, new projects and conservation activities in a meaningful way.

Thanks to your support, we created some great opportunities and put into place new ways for better outreach and dialogue with the general public, and our landowner and other partners! Now on to a great 2022, and here’s what’s coming up!

April 2 St. Charles, MO OLT Nature Walk and Reception
