Community Welcome Center open this Spring
History
A healing garden for cancer patients and their families was the goal.
Care of Creation and Care for All brought the Conservancy to fruition on land that was born of the Ice Age.

1955 - Kopmeier Family donate to Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Archdiocese utilizes land and lake for retreats, rest and rejuvenation. We continue that tradition today.
2003 - Established as an independent 501(c)3.
2005 - 36 acres purchased including Kopmeier Lake (also known as Priests Lake)
2016 - Reiman Healing Chapel in the Woods is open to the public
2020/2021 - Healing Garden and Trails completed.
2026 - Community Welcome Center opens in Spring
