Tributes

Celebrating Life through Stewardship

Giving through a tribute can be a powerful way to extend the legacy of a loved one.

To celebrate a significant milestone such as a birth, baptism, birthday, graduation, marriage, retirement, and more, consider honoring their love for nature or their commitment to connecting people to the outdoors through a meaningful gift.

For someone who has recently passed – a memorial is the perfect way to acknowledge their values and legacy.

Tributes can be one-time gifts or can be set up as a monthly donation in honor of your loved one.

If you are not comfortable setting up monthly giving online please download our Donation Form, complete it and mail it to us, or give us a call at 320-269-2984.

Kelsey Olson (she/her) joined CURE in 2025 as its Director of Environmental Stewardship. As a skilled environmental naturalist, Kelsey’s work focuses broadly on environmental education and advocacy with a keen focus on rural land use and how that use impacts our environment and climate. Working Lands, how land is used to support agriculture and forestry, is a key focus of her work. She brings 15 years’ experience in public communication, environmental education, and rural community engagement – strong communication strategies are core in her work. This includes two terms of service with AmeriCorps in the VISTA program in Oregon and Maryland and a nearly 10-year career as a naturalist followed. She recently worked on communications and marketing for rural economic development.

Kelsey lives in New London, MN, with her young children, husband, dog, and two cats. They enjoy spending time together outside and finding small treasures in nature. Visits to Minneapolis often include visits to one of their favorite historical museums, the Minnesota Swedish Institute. Kelsey enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, whether this is canning local produce, making kombucha, or other treats!
