Why Monthly Giving helps the Sourlands

Monthly donations provide the Conservancy with a reliable, year-round source of support. This steady income stream helps us plan ahead, forecast resources, and respond quickly to emerging conservation needs. Instead of relying on one-time gifts, your recurring contribution ensures continuous protection for the Sourlands throughout every season.

Every Gift Makes a Difference

A gift of $35 can plant and care for one tree in the Sourland Mountain Region. Each tree is an investment in the health of our environment and community. One mature tree:

Produces 100,000 liters of oxygen each year
Stores about 50 pounds of carbon dioxide annually
Helps prevent natural disasters such as flooding

Your contribution supports wildlife habitat, restores the forest canopy, and strengthens the resilience of the Sourlands for generations to come.

All supporters receive:

Subscription to “The Sourland Journal,” our printed newsletter
Invitations to special member events
Secret plant sales at My Backyard at Nectars
Discounts on Sourland Conservancy Merchandise
