FINISH THE JOURNEY WITH US
With the incredible generosity of countless donors, we’re now just $40,000 away from protecting Lot F’s mature forest, biodiverse wetlands and ponds, fertile farmland, and some of the largest trees on Salt Spring. We have until Aug. 20th.
Huge thanks to the many generous donors who helped us purchase Lot H of the Larmour Lands—20 acres of important forest and wetland habitat. |
