Stewardship--time, treasure or talent

Financial support from our members is so very important. While some of our landowners are paid for their easement from state or federal sources, we generally do not receive compensation for our services or time. Your membership donations keep our doors open and our staff ready to serve the next landowner in need of assistance in preserving their land.

We completed easements on 17 properties in 2011. Please help us continue our important work by donating today.
