YDR Community Forest Expansion
$400,000 GOAL
- We have raised $400,000 toward our goal!
- 224 Individual Donations
- $200,000 from Donors
- $200,000 in Matching Grants
Our appreciation goes out to all who contributed to the Yellow Dog River Community Forest expansion campaign.
We have raised the $200,000 needed to earn matching funds from the Carls Foundation and pay off the outstanding $400,000 loan. We now are the unencumbered owners of 560 acres of river corridor that will extend the Community Forest two miles upstream to the west of County Rd. 510.
Although we have met our initial goal, other riverfront acreage in the vicinity remains at risk. Moreover, opportunities to augment our property gains appear to be opening up. We will keep you posted as the dimension and cost of potential new acquisitions come into view. Your support has created considerable momentum, and we hope to build on it as we seek to protect more of the river corridor and enlarge the Community Forest even further.
Thank you!
