Your first peek at the direction of The Ridges Sanctuary will take into the future will take place later this month.

The Baileys Harbor-based organization will host a public review of its draft concept plans on February 15th at 6:30 p.m. During the session, The Ridges Sanctuary and its design team will walk through what the organization will look and feel like over the next 20 years. Part of those discussions centers around The Ridges Inn, which the sanctuary purchased in 2022. It has been a long process for The Ridges Sanctuary, which started looking for a design firm in 2021 and began a series of public meetings and workshops in early 2022. Executive Director Andy Gill says he has been ok with the measured pace, adding that it is essential to learn where they have been before considering how to move forward.
