We have updates on our project to build a new and improved bridge at The Res. Read about all of the organizations and timelines here!

Frost Engineering: Blueprints

DLZ: Environmental Impact Survey

Clover Machinery Movers: Platinum Level Sponsor $15,000

Marine Corps Reserves Initiative Readiness Training: Labor and Construction

This project was completed right on time on May 5th, 2024! Over the span of only 3 weekends, Combat Logistics Battalion 25 worked efficiently to complete it. Not pictured is the various tree work that they also helped us with. Pictured above is Jacob Craword standing on the new bridge with the old bridge to the right. The old bridge frame is still available for people to see. Also pictured is CBT25 standing on the bridge after completion.

Wonderful training for those interested in education and/or citizen science. This training will prepare you to do your own monitoring of the health of waterways. Email or call the contact info on the flyer to sign up! Once you complete this training, you will be able to borrow equipment from the county to conduct your own tests on water to monitor its health.

We have until January 4th, 2024 to raise $15,000 to build new bridges here! All donations will be matched! The bridges here at Mishawaka Res not only allow access to about 20 acres of our property, but they also connect us with the community; with you! They connect us through family events, scout activities, environmental programs, nature walks, and more. Thank you for your continued support! We hope you consider giving to our organization as we continue to give unique nature experiences to you.
