About the Black Rock Society

A notable name for a property, Black Rock rises over 100 feet above the Wabash River in Warren County. The 45-acre NICHES preserve is a popular site to visit and is also the namesake of a distinguished circle of supporters.

Members of The Black Rock Society recognize that a strong economy and high quality of life are ultimately dependent upon the state of the environment. The Black Rock Society is a group of generous individuals who invest in the future of NICHES through annual financial contributions exceeding $1,000 and/or by donating, bargain selling, or planning to give land.

You can join this special group of citizens who help conserve Indiana’s natural lands by supporting NICHES. Your gift shows a commitment to local conservation, and your legacy will provide opportunities for others to experience the wonders of the natural world. Members enjoy invitations to special events, including several exclusive property tours, and the annual Black Rock Society Dinner, which is scheduled for September 21, 2024.
