Thanks to all who have responded to our Holiday 2022 request for funding. Our target is $7,500. and we’ve raised $5,769. to date! There is still time before end of year to contribute any amount to our nonprofit. We need $1,731. to reach the goal! Donations made online or postmarked before Jan 1 will be matched by Karl & Mary up to $2,000.

We’re depending on supporters like you to reach our 2023 goal to offer wheelchair access to the Forest Flowers Trail and Lily Pond Overlook with a Fire Pit! This south-facing 140′ trail offers the most sunshine for flowering shrubs like lilacs, which flower best in full sun. Forest flowers include shade-loving Mountain Laurel and Azaleas. The 12′ x 12′ deck offers a place to stand or sit and observe nature, also fun for small group gatherings!
