Ecological Restoration

Pathways Retreat is blessed to be the steward of 17 acres of land.  Fourteen of these acres are enrolled in the classified forest program of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR).  Three objectives are identified for this land:  
1.  Restore native plants
2.  Establish wildlife habitat
3.  Create space for rest, reflection and renewal for people

We are partnering with the DNR and US Fish and Wildlife Service to meet these objectives.
