The Conserve
School in Land ‘O Lakes,
WI was founded in 2002 to fulfill James R. Lowenstine’s dream of creating a
school at which children would be offered a comprehensive college preparatory
education with a special emphasis on the importance of the environment. The goal was minimal intrusion on nature and
maximum compatibility with the natural landscape. The campus plan includes: boarding
high school facilities, administrative and academic buildings, and an
ecologically visionary wastewater treatment system.
