The main goal of acquiring this wonderful 175 acre property is behind us! Now, to make the necessary improvements and really place TOP “on the map” for increased usage, we need to enlist:
1. A few “angels” who see the value of what has been accomplished and the potential for the future, who have both the means and the community's interest at heart, to come forward and give generously. 2. The rest of us who genuinely appreciate TOP and are willing to become annual members or make smaller contributions toward its future. 3. Grantors who resonate with all of the benefits to the local communities and to users from farther afield, especially for youth and in the areas of education, environmental understanding and family recreation. Top of the Pines assures public access to an area that is otherwise quickly becoming private property. Please join our efforts to preserve this exceptional public resource! Please give whatever you can afford. |
Special thanks to these supporters:
