Wonderful Conservation News ~ Make a Pledge

We are thrilled to announce that the Cowichan Land Trust, in partnership with the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy and the Islands Trust Fund, has been awarded a $50,000 grant by the Sitka Foundation for the Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve project. The Sitka Foundation is a non-profit organization with the mission to assist initiatives that support the environment. It aims to support organizations that advance land and nature conservation, invest in community projects and groups globally, and provide leadership in stewardship and environmental education. You can read more about them at sitkafoundation.org

Added to the $75,000 raised during our summer matching campaign, the Fairyslipper Forest campaign now stands at $325,000 in committed pledges and donations, close to 60% of the way to our goal! Help us get the rest of the way by making a pledge (contact ThINC@thetisisland.net or call Suzanne at 260-246-9965) or by donating to the Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve (Thetis Island Acquisition Fund) at the Islands Trust Fund (http://www.islandstrustfund.bc.ca/donate/give-now.aspx)
