During the month of April we encourage our donors to wait for our Give Local Campaign to maximize your donation dollars.
The Bridgewater Land Trust is holding its most significant fundraiser of the year – Give Local on April 21-22. This is the ABSOLUTE best time to donate since your donation is MORE THAN DOUBLED! Our goal is to raise $150,000 during this 2 day on-line campaign.
Your will be able to donate starting 7:00 am, Tuesday, April 21!
We are working hard to engage new donors this year and are hoping that you would be one of them. All it takes is $10 or more to be considered a new donor. If we reach 200 donors, it will unlock a $10,000 bonus.

The land gets inside of us; and we must decide one way or another what this means, what we will do about it.
