PADDOCK AND LAND RESTORATION

Picture
Paddock and Land Restoration Project

Above, you can see that in the winter and spring, LifeStriders is suffering from paddocks that have been over-trafficked and over-utilized for a number of years now, and subjected to heavier, faster rains than ever before. The problem with this is that our pastures and land are not draining properly and it is not healthy for the horses to stand in this wet mud.  It is also very difficult for our volunteers to access the horses properly when the land and pastures are saturated like this.
Picture
To remedy this situation, our plan is to create a stone and gravel drainage system, underneath a set of fenced-in trails and drainage areas, that will allow for rapid water absorption in the areas where the horses and volunteer horse handlers spend the most time.  In the middle of the trails will be a beautiful grassy infield that we can control access to through infield fences, depending on the season and the horses’ needs.  This is an excellent method to manage horses on smaller acreage.​

Together with the addition of 30 trees and some strategically pitched drainage beds around the campus, we are confident that this system will help restore our paddocks and land to good health, provide a healthier environment for our horses, and be a safer footing for our volunteers and staff.

Cost for Paddock and Land Restoration Project:  $140k

Thank You
​
An investment in The Campaign for LifeStriders will not just enhance programs and services well into the future, but will allow LifeStriders to make necessary safety upgrades, maximize the buildings and grounds usage, heating and cooling systems, room remodels and expansions and upgrade systems indoors and outdoors. Your support is an investment in LifeStriders’ future and the future of citizens of South Eastern Wisconsin.

Join us in building hope for the many thousands of people whose lives are enhanced and changed on our farm every day, through the variety of subsidized social and rehabilitative services we provide. 

With Warmest Regards,
Veronica Sosa CEO
