Year-End Appeal: Have Your Gift Matched
Protecting our local habitats and ecosystems is important and urgent work. In a race to save species - to save ourselves - the pressure is on to conserve land, connect people with nature, and rebuild a stewardship ethic that embraces diversity and our collective responsibility for the land we share.
The year-end appeal at Somerset Woods provides critical funds to sustain the work we have underway. We are working diligently to build a stronger organization and community. Initiatives underway include:
land and water access projects in 6 communities from Skowhegan to New Portland to Bingham
mentoring programs connecting youth with nature as trail builders, horticultural apprentices, and explorers
conservation and restoration of some of the most biodiverse locations in Somerset County, including habitat for more than 5 imperiled species
Somerset Woods Share, our community firewood assistance program helping local residents stay warm
The Somerset Woods Board has set a goal of $50K for this year-end appeal. Our entire board will lead on this effort. In addition to their own contributions, board members have created a $12K fund available to match contributions by first-time donors and increases in donations made by returning donors. What does this look like?
New donor? Your gift will be doubled at no additional cost to you!
Returning donor? Increase your gift over the prior year and that increase will be matched, dollar for dollar!
We need your help to sustain Somerset County’s local land trust now and for the future. Please be as generous as you can in helping us fulfill our goal of $50K.
