Support Land Protection
Ensuring the legacy of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail requires land acquisition, conservation, and maintenance. Help support these efforts!
There Are Several Ways to Protect Land:
Conservation Buyer Program:
The Ice Age Trail Alliance’s Conservation Buyer Program is an important collaboration designed to meet our mission and conserve the 1,200-mile National Scenic Trail.
If you’re interested in helping conserve land for the Ice Age Trail, the Alliance can provide information to you about key properties that would be beneficial to the Trail.
To learn more, or to be part of the Alliance’s land conservation efforts, contact Kevin Thusius, Senior Director of Land Conservation.
The Property Monitoring Fund:
Ensuring the legacy of the Trail requires the Ice Age Trail Alliance to maintain the land, where it owns the properties, into perpetuity. The Property Monitoring Fund covers the annual cost of performing monitoring on our property interests, including easements, Alliance-owned land, deed-restricted properties, and others.
A contribution to our Property Monitoring Fund makes you a vital part of the Ice Age Trail’s legacy. Your generosity allows us to continue purposefully maintaining the land in our care and helps protect the Ice Age Trail forever.
To donate to the fund, please contact Sarah Driscoll, Institutional Giving Manager.
The Robert & Victoria Connors Land Resource Fund:
The Connors Family has a strong commitment to “close the gaps” in the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The purpose of this fund is to facilitate land acquisition by the Alliance to host and permanently protect the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The Connors Family generously provided the Alliance with a generous lead gift that provides the resources needed to act quickly when land protection opportunities arise.
To effectively close the gaps, this fund will require additional support from Trail enthusiasts like you. Your gift to the Ice Age Trail Alliance in any amount helps us work together to build, maintain, and promote the Ice Age National Scenic Trail.
