Success Stories
Caring for the past, preserving for the future
“I’m not comfortable with the concept of ownership. I feel more like a steward, someone who is caring for and taking responsibility for the house and property until the next generation.” – Robin Rinaca, easement donor
Leaving the world a better place
“Growing up on the farm, there was never a time when there was nothing to do. But I loved wandering the woods. I watched the woods grow up, each tree from a seed to maturity and then some inevitably aging as time took its toll. To me, they are family.” – C.D. Fleming, easement donor
