Land Legacy Society

In the fall of 2004, Gathering Waters Conservancy introduced the Land Legacy Society, a special opportunity to protect Wisconsin’s lands and waters. The Land Legacy Society is a club made up of individuals who share our love for Wisconsin and who have made a commitment to donate $1,000 or more annually to Gathering Waters to ensure the continued growth and sustainability of our programs.

The Land Legacy Society is picking up the pace of conservation in Wisconsin. With the strong support of the Society, ten years from now:

Land trusts will be a part of every landowner’s vocabulary. Just as landowners know that they can pick up the phone and call a realtor, they will also know that they can contact their local land trust.

Land trusts will be community institutions as important as the local library, YMCA or art museum in contributing to the overall health and vitality of their communities.

Public policies will reflect our conservation values and programs like the Stewardship Fund, the state’s premiere land conservation program, will enjoy strong bipartisan support.
