Sycamore Land Trust is a nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1990 to preserve the beauty, health, and diversity of southern Indiana’s natural landscape through strategic land conservation, habitat restoration, and environmental education. Sycamore protects 11,418 acres of forests, wetlands, wildflower meadows and other open landscapes on 141 properties, and maintains over 30 miles of hiking trails on 13 of its nature preserves for free public access. Sycamore’s Environmental Education Program connects thousands of people of all ages and abilities to nature through guided hikes and free programming for local schools and community organizations.

Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots advocacy climate change organization focused on national policies to address the national and global climate crisis. In Indiana there are 12 CCL chapters working in every Congressional district to build the political will for federal action on climate change. We do this through grassroots outreach, media work, meetings with community leaders in business, government, and faith communities, and by persistently, lobbying Congress for meaningful action on climate change.
