Backyard Conservation Foundation™

The Backyard Conservation Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to strengthening conservation and community resilience through education, volunteerism, and hands-on restoration projects in local backyards. Its work encourages people to build a lasting connection with nature by actively caring for and managing natural spaces. The Foundation brings families and communities together through conservation activities and upcoming events, with opportunities to participate, volunteer, and support its efforts through donations.

The organization’s approach is grounded in conservation, family, generational stewardship, character, community, and faith. It aims to help protect and improve natural resources so future generations can enjoy meaningful outdoor experiences. Its activities also emphasize integrity, leadership, responsibility, and service, while creating shared experiences that strengthen family bonds and community relationships. By connecting conservation with purposeful participation, the Foundation seeks to leave families, communities, and natural spaces better than they were found. The Backyard Conservation Foundation is based in Elkhorn, Nebraska, and provides event participation registration and rules for those taking part in its programs.
