HEAR FROM OUR HAPPY CUSTOMERS

John and Shannon Omstead have been supporters of local conservation efforts for nearly 25 years. They were instrumental in creating the Shorebird Habitat at Hillman Marsh Conservation Area, and have been pivotal in supporting conservation education for students across the Essex Region, helping nearly 200,000 students access conservation education programs. The Essex Region Conservation Foundation continues to be thankful to the Omstead family for their leadership in ensuring the environmental sustainability of their business, and supporting conservation initiatives in our local community.
