QUINTE CONSERVATION’S ADOPT AN ACRE PROGRAM IS BACK
Quinte Conservation’s popular Adopt an Acre program is back and will help support improvements at local Conservation Areas. Communications Manager Jennifer May-Anderson says, “The money raised with Adopt An Acre will help us to put up interpretive signage at local conservation areas. We want to share important information about the natural heritage of these valuable local green and wilderness spaces including trail maps and information about invasive species.”
May-Anderson adds, “Each year we offer local residents the opportunity to symbolically ‘adopt’ an acre of conservation land to help protect and preserve local green spaces. For $20 donors receive a tax receipt and an adoption certificate in the name of a loved one, friend, teacher or anyone who is interested in supporting a local environmental cause. People can adopt their acre by visiting or calling the Quinte Conservation office or going online to www.quinteconservation.ca.”
This year, if people adopt two or more acres, they will receive a plush toy chipmunk or fox as a thank you for the donation.
Quinte Conservation hopes to adopt out 225 acres this year. Last year the program raised just over $4,000. In the past the program has helped to pay for signage at local conservation areas, habitat enhancement projects and invasive species removal.
