I am grateful for you!
Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. A day to gather with family, friends, and community and celebrate the power of gratitude. I truly believe that what we focus on increases, and I have seen that happen at Bayou Land Conservancy.
You are alongside us as we preserve more land that benefits everyone in our community. Your support allows us to ensure that our children and grandchildren have safe and accessible green spaces to play. Cleaner air to breathe, fresher water to drink.
See you outside! |
