Friends of Nachusa Grasslands (Friends) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 by volunteers dedicated to providing for the long-term care and management of The Nature Conservancy (TNC) owned and operated Nachusa Grasslands. The mission of Friends of Nachusa Grasslands is to build endowments that will help defray the cost of natural areas management, staff, and operating expenses; conduct and encourage stewardship; support education and scientific activity; and fund land acquisition at the preserve. Although we work closely with TNC and advertise Nachusa Grasslands and TNC activities on the preserve, Friends is a separate entity unaffiliated with TNC.
