What's New

Aldous Huxley said, “We can only love what we know, and we can never know completely what we do not love.” Being considerate necessitates the act of considering. It involves exploring, asking questions, and connecting with the subject at hand. In this case, that subject is water, and in particular our Indian River Watershed.

Modern students face an uphill battle in finding the time, places, and available mentors to teach them to consider the land and water around them.

Many of us on the lakes can remember what it meant to be “raised by a lake” and the people who loved the lake.

Consideration and conservation ethics were a way of life — a way of life worth passing on and sharing with tomorrow’s stewards. That is still true. Lake Love is learned fishing on a shoreline, boating on a summer day, and learning about the animals and plants that share the lakes with us.

The good news is that your support will help tomorrow’s stewards to overcome these barriers, and to have meaningful experiences on the lakes and in the outdoors.

Project WHIRL students are getting the chance to study the lakes, but more than that, they are learning to love the lakes because of people like you.
