Bill and Jessie passed away in 1998, but before their deaths, they became interested in "doing more". The idea of building an ecological education facility was conceived and the project began to build a place where people can learn about and grow in appreciation of the natural world we call home.
Because of Bill and Jessie's extremely generous gift, the Institute is blessed with an endowment that provided the financial means to begin something very special -- and that also continues to support and protect the original dream.
Your support will ensure that dream will grow and prosper. Pierce Cedar Creek Institute is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, private operating foundation with the mission to protect and enhance quality of life through ecological education, research, and stewardship of the natural world. A gift to the Institute is an investment in this effort to preserve and protect our valuable natural resources through better understanding and awareness.
Through a membership, you help support the many educational programs that reach our youth, our leaders of the future. Through a cash donation, you help support graduate students as they research the intricacies of our environment. And, with a bequest through your will or trust, you help ensure we will have the resources to reach more children, adults, environmental professionals, and members of the academic community to build a better understanding of the world around us.
If you are interested in learning more about how you can help, please contact Michelle Skedgell, Executive Director, at 269-721-4470.
