Who We Are

The Black Swamp Conservation League is more than a conservation and preparedness organization — we are a brotherhood and sisterhood of faith-filled individuals united by a common purpose: to serve, to teach, and to build a more resilient world.

Our membership is composed of current and former military personnel, law enforcement officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, nurses, doctors, entrepreneurs, and those devoted to religious life. Each member brings a wealth of experience, dedication, and a spirit of service rooted in their personal calling. We are professionals and protectors, caretakers and craftsmen, united by our shared belief in the dignity of every human life and the gifts bestowed upon us by our Creator.

Answering the call to educate, communicate, and postulate a life of stewardship and preparedness, we work together to instill the principles of self-reliance, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. Through an ecumenical approach, we set aside worldly divisions, striving for complete union as brothers and sisters — bound by faith, mission, and mutual support.

Our work is organized, intentional, and mission-driven. We prioritize life skills training, survival proficiency, homesteading, conservation education, and emergency preparedness — empowering individuals and communities to live with strength, dignity, and hope in a world that is often uncertain.

At Black Swamp Conservation League, we recognize that the ability to sustain oneself, protect others, and preserve creation is not merely a skillset — it is a sacred trust. Together, we seek to honor that trust, forging a future grounded in faith, resilience, and the timeless values that uphold human dignity and freedom.

A group of people, dressed in casual clothing, are gathered in a lush, green forest clearing. The ground is damp and muddy, with scattered puddles and fallen branches. Large trees with dense foliage surround the area, creating a shaded environment. The people appear to be engaging in an outdoor activity, possibly related to conservation or education.
