January Greetings
As we (im)patiently await more snow, the UVLT team is reflecting on a community-filled end-of-year as we gathered together and celebrated the Winter Solstice not long ago. The dramatic shift in temperature and weather patterns that ushered in the new year, in addition to the powerful late December storm that left many without power for multiple days, is a reminder of the strength and unpredictability of nature.
While plans for winter-themed events are sometimes disrupted, the commitment YOU make to UVLT is everlasting.
With a few online keystrokes, or a check in an envelope, we are grateful to all who donated dollars in 2022 that became protected farmland, nature preserves, trails, and healthy forests. They created places for people of all ages to learn and love being outdoors. They invested in agriculture, clean water, and natural beauty. They supported each other and the stewardship of the landscape we all depend on.
If you haven’t contributed, please consider making a gift today. Give for the snow covered hills and valleys, for the red cheeks of kids playing outside, for the sweetness of late season kale, parsnips, and brussel sprouts. For local eggnog, cider and maple syrup. For glasslike ice on a skating pond. Give for the strength of people acting together.
You count. And we’re counting on you.
