With the new year just over a month away, we have begun to think ahead to new opportunities for growth. Growing our network of natural areas in Edmonton and area is a key part of our work here at EALT, and we need your help to secure new land for conservation. New conservation lands mean more habitat protected for wildlife, more spaces for people to connect with nature, and greater protection against the effects of climate change. It means new spaces set aside for future generations of people and wildlife, protected in perpetuity. Read more about the many benefits of protected natural areas here.
Thanks to the kind generosity of a new donor, we are inching closer to our goal of securing new land.
Give the gift of nature this holiday season and donate to the Edmonton and Area Land Trust Capital Fund. The EALT Capital Fund specifically supports land securement and, combined with our new donor’s capital fund, can make a future new securement a real possibility.
Help us double the EALT Capital Fund to reach $100,000.
Your donation will be made to the Edmonton Community Foundation, where our capital and endowment funds are held.
Donate online here. Your donation will be processed by CanadaHelps, and you’ll receive a tax receipt by email shortly after.
