Special Projects

Occasionally, we have needs that are outside our budget for maintenance and rely on one-time special donations to cover the cost. These items are necessary for keeping our preserves in good ecological health. To the side you’ll see our current needs – please consider a one-time donation towards this item(s).

Special Need

Gator UTV

support-vehicle

Support vehicles are critical when doing a controlled burn, especially on larger properties.  We use the gators to allow access throughout the burn area both to monitor the fire and to carry water as needed for fire suppression.   In addition, with new properties and additional volunteer stewards on our Woodford County properties north of the Mackinaw, an additional gator is very important to allow our volunteers and our Land Steward to use their time most efficiently. A generous donation has allowed us to fund half of this project. With your help, we can complete the Gator Fund and purchase this equipment in time for the burn season.

Corporate Giving

Your company can make a big impact toward protecting our preserves and helping create spaces for everyone to enjoy in nature. By providing matching funds for your employees, encouraging volunteering through volunteer hours, or sponsoring one of our events. A corporate giving partnership is a great way for you to positively impact your community and your employees. Contact us to learn how your business can support ParkLands.

Conservation Easements

For landowners interested in securing the long-term conservation of their private land, they can donate a tax-deductible conservation easement to the ParkLands Foundation. Conservation easements allow the landowner to retain their private property rights such as continued ownership of the land, controlling access, and/or selling it or passing it onto family, while permanently limiting certain usages of the land (decided by the landowner) in order to protect its conservation values in perpetuity.
