Welcome 2024!

Happy New Year... and Thank You!

 

We extend our heartfelt thanks to you, our amazing supporters, for rallying behind our fundraising request. Your generosity helped us raise nearly $20,000, bringing us almost 1/3 of the way to our goal of $75,000 for hiring an Executive Director in 2024.

 

As we step into the new year together, our efforts can make a difference in extending access to our natural world, protecting and expanding biodiversity, and working for a resilient and healthy community with the challenges of a warming climate.

 

With gratitude,

Kathy Odvody & Betsy Wall Co-Chairs and the Board of EAC

What will you resolve to do this year?

 

Even small choices make a difference! Check out these.

 

Resolve to reduce plastics in your home or daily life. Remember your reusable bags every time you shop. Take your own containers or a simple piece of aluminum foil when you order carry out food. Reduce your

contact with styrofoam. Embrace a plastic-conscious lifestyle!

 

Resolve to increase energy efficiency in 2024! Explore solar options for your home, business, church, or community; consider an EV; opt for a highly efficient heat pump; or change out light bulbs. For info on qualifying energy rebates, check out www.energy.gov

 

Resolve to reimagine your lawn with a focus on biodiversity. Plant native plants, invite pollinators to your garden. Plant an oak, the backbone of our forests. Oak trees feed and house birds, animals, and bugs, also important to us humans. Plant the seeds for change!

 

Resolve to reconnect with nature! Consider a leisurely walk, a brisk hike, or the fun of camping. Share these experiences with friends, family, children and grandchildren. Nature outings aren't just about the scenery; invest in your mental and physical well-being.
