Founded 40 years ago, Earth Day has always been about celebrating the rich natural heritage we envision leaving to children and grandchildren.
Sadly, subdivision, commercial development, resource extraction, and growing human population demands continue to speed destruction of the last vital acres of habitat needed for the grizzly and other wildlife to disperse, migrate, forage, and have the elbow room they need to adapt to climate change.
Now more than at any time in history, habitat conservation — especially on key private lands — is an ecological imperative.
But as concerns rise regarding the adverse impacts of growth on the long-term integrity of habitat and wildlife, Vital Ground is on the job.
In fact, since Vital Ground’s founding in 1990, they have helped to protect and enhance more than 604,000 acres of habitat crucial to our icon animal, the mighty grizzly bear, and countless other species of plant- and animal life.
In celebration of the planet we all call home, Vital Ground encourage you to make a special contribution to their Strength of Connections Campaign — a campaign intended to protect key grizzly habitat and wildlife linkage lands in northwestern Montana and northern Idaho.
With your gift of $50 or more, you will receive a free Vital Ground logo water bottle (20 oz.) and with a gift of any size, you get a free Vital Ground 20th anniversary decal (measures 7 ½ x 3 ¾ in.).Offer valid through midnight Friday April 23, 2010.
Celebrate conservation and consider making a special Earth Day contribution to Vital Ground helping them continue to increase the pace, quality and permanence of conservation in areas critical to the Great Bear.
