A rather odd title but I wanted to mention The Nature Conservancy (website – nature.org). I’ve been a member for many years now and I’ve been glad to contribute a little to their work in preserving nature’s wild places. What made me think about it was their magazine which arrives at my house about every other month.

This issue had an article about their contribution of a large forested area to New York’s Adirondack State Park. It was the largest contribution of land in over 100 years. I had the pleasure of a vacation in the Park many years back and have driven though several times in recent years. The Park is huge and a mix of private and state lands. It is not an experience to be missed if you are able to do it.

But back to the odd title of this article. The magazine of The Nature Conservancy is Nature Conservancy. Interesting articles about various projects in the US and around the world. It is a nice perk of membership. Do some good and get some interesting reading. Think about it.
