2020 YEAR-END NEWSLETTER
Thank you! Your support this year means the world to us.
You made a meaningful impact on the conservation of natural spaces across Alberta. Despite the challenges we all faced this year, around the globe and at home, you knew conservation must go on, and you helped spread the message. The number of donors to NCC in Alberta grew by 27 percent this year, and nearly one third of you recognized how important monthly donations are to our ability to plan for the future.
In 2020, NCC's Alberta region secured 12 projects totalling 3,800 hectares (9,400 acres). These new projects will provide habitat for wide-ranging mammals such as bears, cougars and wolves as well as many species at risk.
So whether you made your first gift to NCC this year, or have been with us from the start, your generosity, your passion, you have helped to conserve the amazing landscapes that make Alberta special.
Your continued support helps to conserve wild spaces so Canadians can continue connecting to and enjoying nature (Photo by NCC)
