Thank You for Making 2019 A Great Year!

Your generous contributions of time, money, expertise and land filled 2019 with many successes for Legacy Land Trust Society.

Your most recent support of the Give Our Bluebirds Wings! campaign was overwhelming—you donated more than $5700!

Supporting Mountain Bluebirds means you're helping conserve their habitat along with the many other species that live there.
