A tax-deductible gift of $25 or more makes you a member of the North Branch Land Trust. It is a common practice for conservation organizations to call their donors members. The term implies something more than just a donation; it implies a closer relationship that conservation organizations seek to foster.

Membership does have its benefits, however:

• Educational programs for people of all ages
• Guided nature walks
• Canoe trips
• Annual Members' Picnic
• Annual Members' Potluck Dinner or Reception in December
• Updates on our progress through newsletters, e-letters and other reports

These benefits are either free or discounted for our members. Members of the North Branch Land Trust are people of diverse backgrounds, political persuasions, and interests. What our members share is a belief that conservation and development are not mutually exclusive, and that effective planning can provide both economic growth and preservation of natural areas with critical conservation values.

We cordially invite you to become a member today. Indifference is the enemy of:

• watershed protection;
• our agricultural heritage; and
• natural areas that sustain our way of life.
