We have chosen to leave a bequest to Kestrel Land Trust in our will because we share Kestrel’s mission—to conserve, to care for, and to connect people to the nature of the Pioneer Valley.
We trust Kestrel to ensure that our place on the planet will always be a sanctuary for wildlife and for human communities in this age of climate change.
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.
