THANK YOU FOR TURNING THE MAP GREEN!!
We would like to thank the over 200 participants, the friends and families who came out, the sponsors and donors and everybody who walked, ran, or strolled to the 2022 Trail Party on Sunday, September 25, 2022. Thanks to everyone's support, we successfully raised over $50,000 towards Turning the Map Green. At rare, it takes just $2 to protect one square metre of environmentally sensitive land, so everyone this past Sunday helped protect over 25,000 square metres of natural space for the surrounding community, now and into the future!
Donations are still open for those who want to add more land under protection, and we look forward to seeing everyone on our trails. Thanks to everyone once again, and we look forward to seeing everybody at the 2023 Trail Party!
