Big Changes Are Underway at Bluff Lake — And We Need Your Support

Construction is officially underway at Bluff Lake Nature Center, and we are excited to see our Campus Improvements Project moving forward. These enhancements will elevate Bluff Lake into an even more valuable and welcoming space for the entire community. For those who already cherish Bluff Lake, you know how impactful these improvements will be to this beloved natural haven.

A Community Treasure, Reimagined

Bluff Lake has long served as a vital resource for nature education, family activities, wildlife observation, and community gathering. The upcoming improvements will strengthen that role—creating a more accessible, educational, and sustainable space for future generations.

But this transformation isn’t possible without community support.

Help Us Unlock a $500,000 Challenge Gift

We have a unique opportunity: Three generous families have pledged a collective $500,000—if we can reach 1,000 donors by the end of June.

So far, more than 650 donors have stepped up to support the future of Bluff Lake. With your help, we can close the gap and unlock this extraordinary gift.

A Call to the Bluff Lake Community

We are issuing campaign challenges to many of the groups that make up the heart of the Bluff Lake community, including:

Camp families
Birding groups
Bluff Lake Explorers (our homeschool and forest school students)
Alumni, including past board members, staff, and volunteers
Current board members and long-time supporters

Whether you’re giving for the first time or making an additional contribution, every donation counts—and every donor helps us get closer to our goal.

This project is a significant investment in both our natural environment and the people who benefit from it. By contributing, you are helping ensure that Bluff Lake remains a thriving space for education, conservation, and community connection.
