What can you do to help protect land forever?
- The next generation loves protected tulip trees at the Short Hills Nature Sanctuary
The Head-of-the-Lake Land Trust program depends on the generous support we receive from members, friends, foundations, businesses and others to protect significant natural areas, restore habitats, create educational opportunities, and provide hands-on volunteer experiences. Some of our real costs include:
- Environmental assessment of sanctuaries
- Legal fees
- Stewardship activities to care for the sanctuaries
- Classroom education program
Donor support is key to ensuring we can build on 90 years of protecting nature for future generations.
If you value open space, the natural environment, and your community, please consider a gift to the Head-of-the-Lake Land Trust program of the Hamilton Naturalists’ Club. Gifts large and small are appreciated. Remember, it’s an investment in your future!
Opportunities to contribute to the Head-of-the-Lake Land Trust program are numerous and include:
- Gifts or bequests (cash, securities, stocks) to purchase a nature sanctuary in someone’s name or as a memorial.
- Contributions to a specific project (ex. stewardship of a nature sanctuary, education program).
- Partnering with conservation-minded individuals or organizations to jointly acquire lands to protect nature.
- Cash donations to support the acquisition and stewardship costs for new nature sanctuaries.
- Gifts of time are also appreciated. We are always looking for stewards, committee members and general nature lovers. Please visit Volunteer your time for more details.
- Spread the word to friends and family about the HLT’s work to protect land.
