Because so much of our land protection work is about ensuring that the places we save today will be protected forever, planned gifts–a will, bequest, trust, annuity, insurance, or deferred gift–are indispensable.

There is no better way to continue to make a difference for land conservation in our community many years from now. However, future charitable gifts require some planning today, before they are made.

To celebrate National Estate Planning Awareness Week (October 21-27) and to aid your planning, we are providing access to a free estate planning tool from our new partner, FreeWill. >>>click here to check out the FreeWill estate planning tool
