Chairman's Challenge Unleashed: Fundraising for Conservation Excellence
To everyone who has helped PLC over the course of this campaign, thank you so much for your support! The last 2 years we have been able to expand our equipment and capabilities in so many ways. Having so many people supporting us has been truly a gift.
Moving into 2024 and 2025, we asked ourselves what we could benefit from most this year. The answer was unexpected - we need more space. Going forward, we’re going to reach for a loftier goal - can we build a workshop?
Over the last 2 years, you have helped us gain a truck, 2 new UTV’s, a new trailer, 2 spray units for prescribed burns, and lots of smaller equipment to help steward the land. In an effort to maintain this equipment and keep it in great condition, we’re thinking about long term storage. Currently PLC is able to store some equipment with volunteers, but we don’t want to overstay our welcome. Keeping all our equipment together in one location would allow our staff to complete routine maintenance and upkeep more efficiently.
Our challenge for 2025 and 2026 will be to raise money toward this workshop space. We are still working out how much space we need, how much we might grow in the future, and where this building will go. We will celebrate fundraising milestones and any progress along the way with all of you. This success is as much yours as it is ours.
This year our Chairman's '30 in 60' Challenge means that for the next three months, April-June, our goal is to raise $30k in funds in 60 days.
The Chairman's Challenge honors the generous commitment by our dedicated members to support our stewardship program which is why all donations are matched until we reach our goal!
