We want to thank our members and more than 470 donors who contributed to this success!

Come help us honor those who made this important conservation project possible! Bennett Island Forever! Swim Bennett Bridge Beach, Northwood Saturday, August 25, 9 am Now that the members of Bear-Paw have saved Bennett Island Forever for the eagles and loons, we are swimming to Save More Places like it! Swimmers can complete: * a 1/4 mile trip to the island * a 1/2 mile lap to the island and back, or * a 1 mile loop around the island Participants are encouraged to collect pledges to raise money to help protect all of the special places in our region and help Bear-Paw conserve water, wildlife, forests, and farms. Last year's participants raised $12,000 to Save Bennett Island Forever! This year we hope to raise $15,000 to support Bear-Paw's land protection efforts across the Region. Bear-Paw One Step at a Time: Bear-Paw continues to celebrate the 8,700 acres of our region’s forests, wetlands and farmlands that our work has protected. In addition to conserving water, wildlife habitat, forests, and farms, there is another benefit for us all – more than 6,000 of those acres are open to the public! Where are all these places? How do you get to them? Do they have trails? Is there parking? What is there to see when you get there? Come join us to explore our conservation lands, including these.
