WHAT YOU CAN DO
If you love the land, there’s a lot you can do
Land protection and stewardship are essential for our future, and the ecosystem benefits we enjoy every day such as drinking water, healthy food, clean air and places to reflect and recreate. Conserved, well-managed land also provides protection from natural disasters, such as floods and drought, and climate change resilience. Here are some ways that you can help Winnakee further our conservation mission, so the very next generation can enjoy the many of the environmental and economic benefits of our forests.
The Impact You Can Make:
- Be part of one of the most effective, nature-based solutions to climate change
- Support forest regeneration, which DOUBLES a forest’s ability to store CO2
- Help us engage with landowners to conserve well-managed forests and build resilient landscapes
- Contribute locally to impact national and global environmental goals
- Help us connect community to nature with new trails and meaningful experiences on our lands
- Inspire the next generation to become the next land guardians
