If you haven’t visited our website at newlt.org recently, we’ve got exciting news—there’s a lot to discover! After a competitive selection process, B2 Web Studios was chosen to design and develop a state-of-the-art website for NEWLT. The funds for this major upgrade were generously raised during our 25th Anniversary Campaign in 2022. After months of careful planning and development, the new site launched this spring.
Our previous website, built over 12 years ago, had reached the end of its useful life and was long overdue for a refresh. Now, as one of the most visible spaces where our community connects with us (second only to our preserved lands), we’re excited to unveil a new, user-friendly online experience. The new site aims to enhance NEWLT’s ability to engage with the community. It provides a central hub where visitors can learn about our mission, explore public preserves, discover volunteer opportunities, and support local land conservation efforts. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or new to our cause, the site is designed to foster deeper connections with local conservation and the Land Trust mission.
Key features of the site include:
Streamlined Navigation
A simplified, intuitive menu makes it easy to find information about how we protect land, our public preserves, volunteer opportunities, and ways to support the Land Trust.
Visually Rich & Responsive Design
Full-size, vibrant photos and videos showcase the natural beauty of Northeast Wisconsin’s preserves and protected lands, bringing our mission to life. Whether you’re browsing on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, the site adapts seamlessly to any screen size, ensuring a smooth experience.
Interactive Maps
Custom maps with Google Maps API integration, GPS locating and directions allow you to learn more about protected properties—especially the public preserves that are open for visitors. You can view property summaries, unique features, photos, and get directions, whether you’re at home or planning your next adventure.
Mission & News
The homepage greets visitors with impactful imagery, the latest news, upcoming events, and quick links for resources, ensuring visitors stay informed about our work and impact.
Landowner & Board Member Portals
Secure, dedicated portals provide landowners and board members with easy, confidential access to relevant information.
Event Calendar
A user-friendly event calendar allows visitors to quickly browse event details, view maps, and RSVP directly on the site.
We hope the new website serves as an invaluable tool for our members, landowners, and community supporters. We are committed to continuously improving the site and adding new features to enhance your experience.
