Water Conservation

Throughout Bernheim’s 16,000+ acres streams, springs, wetlands, and lakes flow. These hydrous habitats support a wide array of wildlife and help provide clean water for surrounding communities. Bernheim actively protects our ground and surface water while reminding humans of the ever-increasing importance of water conservation.

Research Projects

At Bernheim, we partner with scientists and researchers around the nation on ecology management practices and exploring the rich biodiversity of our natural areas. From assessments to monitoring, our research focuses on many species that call Bernheim home, particularly our beloved Golden Eagles.
