March News and Upcoming Events

Dear Friend of MCF,

After a snowy January and February, it's great to see the daylight lengthening as we enter March and begin to bid farewell to winter.

MCF also bids farewell to a founding member of the MCF family, Caroline Huber. Caroline led a remarkable life and was a conservationist at heart. We will remember her dedication to education and conservation as well as her inspiring generosity. We wish to honor Caroline's life and are especially grateful for her generosity to MCF over many years. Our deepest condolences go out to the Huber family.

Sincerely,

William D. Kastning, AICP

Executive Director

P.S. Have you heard of the 30 by 2030 initiative? President Biden passed an executive order calling for conservation of 30% of the U.S. land base by 2030. Learn more about this here.
