The Glen and Joan Pulver Education Endowment provides stability for our income stream to enable FOPBC to continue to hire well qualified environmental educators for our Conservancy based field trips. The funds are also used to purchase consumable supplies and equipment for hands-on programming. Additionally, teachers and naturalists are hired to modify our field trip curriculum in order to stay current. The Madison Community Foundation manages our endowment funds.

It takes a whole city, including the local businesses, to support the Conservancy. If your business is interested in sponsoring specific events, please reach out to us at office@pheasantbranch.org and we will work together to customize a sponsorship package that fits your budget and goals.
