Sustainable Conservation

Building a Legacy

To fuel our future work, the Elevate campaign includes a $12 million goal for documented bequest intentions. Through these planned gifts, donors help ensure that their grandchildren and great-grandchildren will enjoy the same birds and special places they love today.

Create an enduring legacy, in which birds, people, and the planet can thrive for years to come. Estate gifts carry forward your values and commitment to protecting birds and nature, enriching the lives of Nebraska’s next generation. It’s an exceptional kind of stewardship.

Bald Eagles once had nearly gone extinct, but no more. My father told me that when people pay attention to birds, they learn from them and then they take action to protect them. His words remain with me today and reinforce my choice of a career in conservation.
