Help us secure the future of our newest preserve!
We need to raise $26,000 (only 4% of the overall cost!) to ensure permanent protection and stewardship of this property
The land value itself was generously gifted to Bear-Paw and the donor asked only that we raise the money needed to fund its perpetual stewardship. Your gifts will allow us to permanently protect this beautiful property.
Join us for a Biothon and learn about all the species that call this preserve home!
