2020 Membership Drive Underway
As the country begins to reopen from the coronavirus, we hope that you and your loved
ones are staying safe and healthy. If there was ever any doubt, we now know with certainty,
that nature sustains us. During this challenging and unsettling time, nature has provided
healing balm for our weary souls and has been our constant.
Because of dedicated and generous donor support, even though we have had to postpone
events and activities, NLBT has been able to continue to stay focused on the mission of land
conservation and protect important natural areas in our communities. Totaling over 1,900
acres, three significant new projects are underway and staff continues to safely monitor
conserved properties. Meanwhile, the Board of Directors has enacted measures to
minimize expenses and prudently manage finances. The Howland Preserve and Picton
Wildlife Sanctuary remain open and social distancing guidelines have been posted so the
public can continue to safely take advantage of these beautiful Preserves.
This time of unprecedented stress and isolation has highlighted the powerful benefits of
nature on the human spirit and has deepened NBLT’s resolve to protect the special places
in Northeastern Pennsylvania before they disappear.
By supporting NBLT through membership and membership renewal, you are saying, YES, we need
to protect the special lands of Northeastern Pennsylvania! YES, more than ever, we need to
save the very nature that is sustaining and enriching our lives; our mental and physical health
depends on it.
Land conservation only happens because of YOU!
In this time of uncertainty, the value of nature is more evident than ever before. The
strength and resiliency of the natural world provide comfort and peace of mind. We have
heard countless stories from people who have shared with us their thoughts on how nature has
helped them endure these past months…nature that YOUR generous support has helped
protect.
