Welcome to Silkesnas!

…leveraging Wisconsin’s landscape to nurture the landscape of the human heart

Who
We
Are

Silkesnas is a private habitat preserve located in beautiful, rural Pierce County, Wisconsin.  The preserve focuses on developing appreciation of the area’s natural beauty in combination with its rich geological, anthropological, and bio-diverse ecosystems.


Silkesnas is unique in that we provide timely,  environmentally-relevant information from leading physical and social scientists and encourage individuals to examine this information from a spiritual, reflective perspective. We encourage practices that express human-kind’s integral relationship as an element of  nature, versus as a user or a consumer of nature.


We particularly encourage individuals to learn to love where they live (develop a sense of place).  This love in turn, we hope, will generate personal leadership practices of care and conservation of natural spaces.

Silkesnas is permanently conserved in the West Wisconsin Land Trust, and was profiled in this organization's Fall 2007 issue of Open Spaces (see pp. 12-13).
