Because this land matters
It’s what roots us here. And what makes us stay. We are connected to this land and to the water that flows through it. We are drawn to its beauty and its ability to calm and center us. We are its stewards and its protectors. Together this is our work. It takes all of us.
What is here now can be gone tomorrow. This is why the work we do together is so important.
Bring your children outdoors. Walk the trails. Protect the farms that feed us and the forests that shelter us. Save something special for tomorrow.

You SaveD the Sled Hill
It seems this special place was always destined to belong to the community. As we worked to preserve this land for future generations through the “Save the Sled Hill” fundraising campaign, these stories of friendship, community, and connection to the land were at the forefront of this effort. Community is what makes this magic happen!
How can you help?
This is a cause we all benefit from—and there are so many different ways to chip in and make it happen! Whether you make a financial gift, volunteer your time or expertise, or attend one of our events, you’re helping to save the precious open spaces on which we all depend. Your efforts, contributions, and connections can go a long way.
