The importance of the Muskoka Forever Campaign cannot
be overstated. It is your
assurance that Muskoka's unique environment will be maintained for
future generations.
The Muskoka Heritage Foundation has assumed a conservationist role since
its
inception in 1987 and has experienced great success over the years.
However, we
now need your financial support if we are to continue with this
undertaking.
Nature At Its Best
The natural environment is fundamental to the quality of life in Muskoka.
Large natural
areas significantly contribute to the clean air and water - and support
a wide range of
flora and fauna. A spectacular backdrop of seemingly endless lakes,
river, rocks and
forests provides the physical beauty and recreational opportunities that
have ultimately
attracted residents and tourists alike to Muskoka.
Today's Reality
The fact of the matter is that the Muskoka environment is as sensitive
as it is unique.
It is particularly vulnerable to the current pressures of population
growth, development,
fragmentation and climate change. Left unchecked, these pressures will
be the
ultimate demise of a land that we all know and cherish. More than ever
before, the
Muskoka Heritage Foundation is being called upon to protect, conserve
and nurture
the environment and traditions of Muskoka.
It's Time To Act Now
We don't have the luxury of time to delay in dealing with these real
threats to our
environment. We need to act now. To this end, we are seeking your
financial
assistance to support our efforts to safeguard Muskoka.
The Goal Is Within Reach
The Muskoka Forever Campaign is an appeal to raise more than
one million dollars to
sustain the Foundation's initiatives in all areas of stewardship, land
acquisition and
watershed health. We are reaching out to all friends of Muskoka to
become members,
corporate sponsors and donors. Together, we all need to take
responsibility for the
future of Muskoka.
We Can't Do It Without You
With your support the Foundation can continue its valuable work
and expand its areas
of influence.
