Land trusts are not in the business of confrontation, but they have a responsibility to protect lands which the public have donated funds to purchase for conservation of wildlife habitat.
Protecting habitat for conservation is a public promise that extends well beyond the simple purchase of the land. SILT commits to defending biodiversity forever but needs your help to safeguard the properties and their values for all time. Conserving biodiversity is not a liability, it is a responsibility we all share. Your donations will help SILT to better protect the lands we hold, and to purchase more lands so we may all enjoy wildlife, and all living things, forever.
