For those of us living in Madison, Wis., the prairies, oak savannas, wetlands and forests that make up the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum are – both literally and figuratively – a breath of fresh air. For more than 70 years this site of environmental stewardship has served as a shining example of best practices in land management. Its 1,260 acres of natural beauty have been restored to how they were years ago, before human settlement. In fact, many people consider the UW-Madison Arboretum the birthplace of ecological restoration. Today, the place is a hub for recreation, education and research, and helping preserve this treasure are the 3,000 members of the Friends of the Arboretum (FOA). Through membership and fundraising activities, the FOA helps fund the arboretum's maintenance, hosts educational events and outreach, and honors key figures in ecology. We're honored, in fact, to be able to help the Friends of the Arboretum grow its membership. A communications strategy developed by Good for Business will help FOA nurture its current supporters while planting the seeds for future enrollment. The strategy focuses on the native beauty of this incredible and beautiful place – one that we hope will continue to grow for generations to come.
