YOU Can Help Save Land
Bear-Paw Regional Greenways relies on the generosity of individuals, foundations, and businesses to support its efforts to conserve the region's most important natural areas. Please consider helping us to protect land for our future. Bear-Paw has over 300 members, and we have to raise over $75,000 each year through memberships, contributions, and fundraising events to support our land protection programs. We also secure funding through grants and town appropriations to support the transaction and acquisition costs associated with land protection projects completed. There are many ways to contribute to Bear-Paw's success.
