This campaign will support some of the community’s best and most creative ideas for ways to protect and care for the land we share, and strengthen the Land Trust’s ability to meet the growing demands of our region, forever. “The need for our work grows each year,” Executive Director Richard Tucker said. “A successful campaign will help us be even more effective in conserving land, and allow our community to look to the future with creativity, vision, and hope.” Funds raised by Look to the Land are helping to establish Chimacum Ridge as a community forest for all; seeding a Flexible Opportunity Fund to help the Land Trust move quickly to secure priority properties as they become available; and growing the Forever Fund Operating Endowment to ensure that the Land Trust can protect the land in its care forever. Early supporters have responded generously to the campaign’s invitation by giving and pledging more than $6.3 million (77 percent) toward its $8.25 million goal.
