Introducing the Marsh Shop!

With the countdown to Christmas now truly upon us,
Standing Rush presents it’s own 12 Days of Christmas.
In the spirit of giving, please visit our brand-new online shop.
1st Day of Christmas: Stand for Clean Water Clear Decal
Today, I am thrilled to announce the unveiling of a new Standing Rush website -- standingrushshop.org! While it is built as a stand-alone, it will also be accessible through this blog (see the "SHOP" tab above) and will be housed under our new parent URL, www.standingrush.org.

Today's launch marks the culmination of months of design work and collaboration with my brother, Joe. His passion, creativity, generosity, and pure talent (not to mention sense of humor) have made this journey an absolute blast. As is so often the case, ideas far exceed dollars, but we are using part of the gift recently received from the BSBO Conservation Fund to make this dream a reality.

The primary goals of our online product offering are two-fold: (1) to help improve the impact and reach of our brand; and (2) to build a broader base of supporters, not only financial but ideological, so that we can magnify the impact of our work.

So each of our products has been carefully crafted and meticulously designed not only to help spread the word about our restoration and conservation efforts, but also to increase awareness and pride for our incredible natural resources (which technically aren't really "ours") -- maybe most notably, the incredible resource that is Lake Erie.

This is going to be fun. Happy holidays, twelve days early -- and happy shopping!

Pretty hard not to call this the true "Swamp Shop," but I think our beloved Mudhens
would have a few things to say about that!
