At reaching its finale at the end of September the campaign raised $24,989
and its $10,000 new money goal was exceeded, bringing in more than $13,200!

This will be generously matched at $10,000.

Sponsors, donors, supporters—old and new—have helped SMLC gather almost $35,000 in support of its mission for conserving open spaces for ALL of nature.

SMLC thanks each and every one of you for giving of your time, money, and support,
the true treasure at the end of the rainbow.


THANK YOU!!!
