“When one is part of a small organization busy working on big projects, it’s great to be around others at Rally to hear about how they have overcome obstacles and achieved conservation success. Rally offers a sense of renewal and ideas. You go home thinking ‘if they can do it, we can do it.’ It’s the perfect place to meet and learn with other land conservationists.”

— Lynn Ketterhagen, Manager of Land Protection and Operations, Geneva Lake Conservancy (WI)
