The Future is Brighter
We're excited to share that The Nature Place has installed a 120-panel solar array on the roof of The Nature Place located in Myrick Park!
This investment in renewable energy will have a projected 68% energy offset and will save us nearly $12,000+ per year, allowing us to put more resources into environmental education, land stewardship, and summer camp scholarships - benefitting children, individuals, and families in the greater La Crosse community.
By reducing our carbon footprint and embracing sustainability, we're taking another step toward protecting the natural world we all love. Thank you for supporting our mission-together, we're making a lasting impact!
Our future is bright because of YOU!
Help us celebrate!
Join us at The Nature Place for the official Solar Array Installation Ribbon Cutting on Thursday, September 18th from 2-4pm.
