The mission of Sycamore Land Trust is to preserve the beauty, health, and diversity of southern Indiana's natural landscapes through strategic land conservation and environmental education. Vision: Sycamore Land Trust envisions a future in which southern Indiana has diverse and abundant habitat for native plants and animals, as well as clean air and water, working lands that are productive and sustainable, and people who embrace the connection between a healthy environment and our quality of life.

SoUL’s purpose is to demonstrate and educate the public on the proven benefits of guiding volunteers on the enhancement and improvement of urban lakes. These benefits include restored wetland habitat, reduced litter and trash, enhanced interest in lake environmental quality, and increased educational opportunities. Building on our long-term experience of restoring Crescent Lake in St. Petersburg, we will share successful examples and useful guidance on nature-based methods and public outreach for the creation and enhancement of lake vegetation and managing water quality.

The Tacoma Lakes Association is dedicated to the education of lakes’ users and the environmental protection of our lakes. They believe that education is the key to ensuring that future generations have the same privilege we do to enjoy the special beauty of the Tacoma Lakes. The Association is actively involved in helping to protect our lakes. Particularly important is protecting our lakes from invasive plants, exotic fish and “slow the flow” nutrient reduction. The Association also assists the dam keeper, who maintains our water levels. The Association is a not-for-profit lake association. We depend upon volunteers for all our activities.
