RANGELEY — Rangeley Lakes Heritage Trust is asking area residents to think and act locally during the holiday season, including on Giving Tuesday, on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
The day is devoted to raising money, or volunteering for causes.
Since 1991 RLHT has focused on conservation and community and maintains traditional public access and uses of its land for recreation, education, and scientific study, the organization said in a news release.
“With each acre of forest or foot of shoreline conserved we know that it’s not only about the health of the lakes or the habitat we are protecting. It’s about saving wild spaces for each of us to disconnect from modern life and to immerse our hearts in nature,” said Amanda Laliberte, program manager at RLHT.
“We are each searching for meaning; for connections with each other or with a non-profit or charity that has touched our life. When we feel that connection, we give to and support organizations that preserve it. At RLHT’s EcoVenture Kids Camp we connect children with nature, with our community and with each other, creating friendships and interests that last a lifetime” Laliberte said.
EcoVenture Kids Camp primarily serves an underserved youth population in the western foothills. “We are doing great things at EcoVenture and hopefully with the generosity of Giving Tuesday, we will be able to do even more,” Laliberte said. “We want to add depth and inspiration to our activities and have a need for hands-on activities, replicas, interpretive tools, and field equipment.” The money raised will go to help buy items to enrich the curriculum and get children interested in science and nature.
This holiday sesason, RLHT hopes area residents will consider a donation. Visit rlht.org for more information.
