The Land Trust has launched a campaign to protect 10,000 acres of land by the end of 2012. We expect to raise $34 million from foundations, government grants, and our nonprofit partners for this effort – and $13.5 million from local supporters. We have already raised $11 million from people in our community towards this effort – and have just $2.5 million to go. Your donation will be matched $17 to $1 by the other gifts – and you can protect an acre for $250. Find out all the details including photos and maps of the lands we will protect, articles from our newsletter and a letter from Terry Corwin. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LandTrustSantaCruz/~3/CBHrH_o6Z38/ http://www.landtrustsantacruz.org http://www.landtrustsantacruz.org The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County is honored that Ow Family Properties has pledged $100,000 to our Campaign to Protect 10,000 Acres. Their donation will be used to match every donation of $1,000 or more until we reach the $100,000. This is a tremendous opportunity to double the impact of your end-of-year donation and to join one of Santa Cruz County’s leading philanthropists in protecting our county. As George Ow, Jr. said about our Conservation Blueprint: “It will make Santa Cruz a better place for ourselves, our children, their children and for all future generations.” So will this gift – and your matching donation! http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LandTrustSantaCruz/~3/UfoQeSOj8nw/bigfinale http://landtrustsantacruz.org/bigfinale http://landtrustsantacruz.org/bigfinale
