Kimberly Elsenbroek

The grant I received from Nachusa provided all of the project support I needed throughout my masters research.
—Kimberly Elsenbroek 
2013 Recipient of research grants awarded by Friends of Nachusa

I have been visiting Nachusa to conduct scientific research, and to help restore the prairie since I was an undergraduate at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. I was then lucky enough to be funded through the Nachusa science program, to continue scientific research during graduate school.

The grant I received from Nachusa provided all of the project support I needed throughout my masters research. From greenhouse supplies to microbial sequencing, Nachusa supported me every step of the way!
Additionally, all of the people at Nachusa, provided great support as well. It is because of Nachusa and their support that I was able to successfully complete my research!
​
If you value scientific research, restoration of degraded land, and educating the public about the importance of these things, consider donating to the Nachusa Science Fund today.
