VISTA Fall 2024

As autumn unfolds, the fields and forests across Steep Rock’s preserves are bursting with vibrant colors, a stunning reminder of nature’s beauty. While many species are winding down for the season, our team is reflecting on a productive summer and gearing up for a busy fall, with exciting plans for 2025. In this edition of VISTA, we’re thrilled to share news about a significant land acquisition for the Macricostas Preserve Expansion Plan, updates on our new trail system in Hidden Valley Preserve, and enhancements at Johnson Farm. We also highlight the passion and dedication of trustees, donors, and volunteers, whose contributions to our mission are immeasurable.
And get ready! In 2025, Steep Rock Association will celebrate 100 years of protecting what you love. Our Centennial Committee is hard at work planning a year of activities that will engage and inspire our community as we honor a century of conservation. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to celebrate this incredible milestone together!
