Challenge Grant
The Wilkins family is
donating 90 percent of the price of conservation easements on its well-managed
timberlands. We must raise $190,000 to cover the remaining 10 percent and the
transaction and stewardship costs involved.
The Russell Farm and
Forest Conservation Foundation has provided a challenge grant to get us
started. The foundation will match, dollar for dollar, donations up to
$50,000. Click here to help with a tax-deductible donation!
