"I have chosen to leave a bequest to Kestrel Land Trust in my will because I believe deeply in Kestrel’s mission. The world is in such chaos globally, and the best way that I know, to help us all to create a more sane and sustainable society, is to support visionary and strong local organizations. I trust Kestrel to protect the Valley’s forests and farms that to sustain generations to come.”
How Your Gift Helps
Your planned gift to Kestrel Land Trust helps us conserve and care for forests, farms, and riverways in the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts, while nurturing an enduring love of the land. Among many things, your support will help us:
work with willing landowners and communities to conserve farmland, woodlands, wildlife habitat, water resources, and recreational lands;
care for protected lands by monitoring their use, manage lands for wildlife habitat and create or enhance public lands and trails;
connect people to the land and to each other with public events, partnering with other nonprofits to benefit youth and underrepresented communities.
