Your gifts to Greenbelt’s Annual Fund make a meaningful impact.
Donations help Greenbelt protect precious open space, make our properties available for public recreation, and support our many events and programs throughout the year.
A campaign to forever preserve farmland or open space is the culmination of a process funded by your donations. The expertise of the professionals in Greenbelt’s Conservation Department who identity meaningful conservation opportunities and then negotiate and execute complex land transactions is supported by the annual fund.
The transformative effect of access to nature for health and happiness is well documented. The Stewardship Department’s maintenance of our public reservations to make them welcoming venues for exploring their natural beauty would not be possible without your donations.
If you have been enriched by a Greenbelt lecture or film screening, nature program or monthly hike, your dollars fund these events offered free of charge to our members.
We can’t do this alone. This year, the Donibristle Reservation project demonstrated your annual investment at work, enabling Greenbelt staff to establish relationships, help landowners and community members realize their conservation vision, and steward the property once it’s protected.
Greenbelt is committed to the sustained focus it takes to conserve our region’s treasured landscapes, vulnerable farmland and natural habitats. These protected places help define Essex County’s unique character and quality of life.
