Forests Forever Donors
Thank you SO MUCH for caring about and protecting the Rensselaer Plateau for years to come. By donating to the Forests Forever Campaign, you have made it possible to conserve 9 new properties, bringing our total conserved acreage to about 14,000!
We have so many people to thank. Below, you can find the list of Forests Forever Donors who made properties such as Bessie's Woods and Dill Brook Community Forest a part of the Rensselaer Plateau Alliance Community.
