Conservation has given us all a place we're proud to call home...

Now conservation needs a home of its own.

 

We have exciting news. 

 

FLT is launching the first phase of a $1,000,000 capital campaign intended to provide the organization with a permanent home and secure future. The goal of the campaign's first phase is $400,000, the cost to purchase and renovate a permanent home.

 

After considering several options, FLT has decided to purchase and renovate a building at 5 Mechanic Street in Shelburne Falls. Having a permanent, efficient and low-maintenance home makes economic sense for the organization: monthly expenses on the 3,000 square foot space will actually be lower than what FLT currently spends.

 

With $240,000 in gifts toward the building campaign already in hand, we're more than half way to our goal! Together, we must raise the final $160,000 to complete this important project and secure a stable future for land conservation in our community.

With your help, we can purchase and renovate our new home by the end of 2013.  We hope you will make a special contribution to this campaign, in addition to your annual membership support (your annual support is critical to our daily operations).

 

We need your help to bring conservation home.
