Help SILT with the costs to steward its conservation properties
Acquiring conservation properties is just the first step. Sometimes those parcels require restoration to improve their habitat for wildlife and they always need constant maintenance to keep them healthy and productive natural areas that support both wildlife and people. Sometimes, that involves keeping people from degrading the environment with motorized vehicles or from ‘overloving’ the property’s important natural features, while other times it just means monitoring.
But, it all costs money, and as a small, non-profit relying on a board of volunteers, SILT does not have deep pockets.
That’s where you come in. Simply select a zone or multiple zones on a map of one of our properties, fill out a form and make a donation to become a sponsor and steward of that ‘zone’ of property.
You’ll receive a stewardship certificate and a receipt for income tax purposes—or you can make your donation on behalf of a loved one, or in memorium.
Sponsorships are valid for a period of 12 months from the date of payment.
