Gathering Waters is a Wisconsin-based nonprofit in the environmental services field that strengthens land trusts to conserve places of natural, agricultural, and cultural value for the public benefit. It delivers direct technical assistance to nonprofit land trusts, acts as a non-partisan advocate for public policies that support land conservation, and uses a statewide voice to share the impact of land trusts and build broad public support for conservation. The organization seeks to embed best practices across its activities and continually improve its processes. Its work targets land trusts, landowners, and communities across Wisconsin, helping them protect the places that define the state’s character. Based in Madison, the organization is described as mid-sized and operates within the environmental services sector, focusing on capacity-building, policy advocacy, and public engagement. In early 2024, Gathering Waters launched a GIS-based decision-support tool designed to inform portfolio insights and acquisition priorities.
