Spring Fund Drive: join in support of the Vesper Meadow vision!

Celebrating Beavers, Spring, and Supporters like You!

This spring we have a lot to be grateful for AND a lot of work ahead of us. With your help, we are aiming to raise $19k by the end of Earth Week, April 25th. The good news, is that we are already 1/3 of the way there - support at any amount goes a long way for on-the-ground restoration and programs across diverse local communities. Plus, we have some sweet gifts for all different levels of support:

 
 

You support, at any amount, Goes a long way with the Vesper Meadow community vision!

Earlier last month, we found out that cuts to Federal budgets meant that will not be able to rely on funding that would support some of our work for restoration and community programs this year. We are carrying on with our work, remaining flexible, and keeping faith in our vision. Right now, we are grateful for supporters like you.

Thanks to a couple of anonymous supporters, your gift will be matched - making your support go twice as far this spring!

 

Our gifts to you this spring:

We love to share in reciprocal relationships and let you know how much we appreciate your support. Whether you want to contribute a smaller amount through monthly gifts ($5 +) or membership ($50), or are able to become a major supporter ($250 +), we have something for you!

Bring Back the Beaver, laser-engraved coasters

When you become a member or monthly reoccurring donor, we will gift you a set of 4 limited edition, custom made beaver-y coasters! Both members and monthly donors receive exclusive invites to special events and seasonal gifts from Vesper Meadow.

These one-of-a-kind beaver logos were laser-engraved through partnership with CraterWorks and DIRT in Central Point, OR. They are fun coffee conversation-starters and also make a great gift for the beaver-lovers in your life!

Get your beavery-gift while supplies last!

 

Birds and Brunch, a special spring event

As a thank you to major supporters at $250 or more, we are hosting a unique experience during one of the greenest, sweetest, most lovely times of the year! You are welcome to donate online, or in-person when you arrive for the event. Just make sure to RSVP here.

Join Vesper Meadow Education Program Director Jeanine Moy and Board Member Stacy Taeuber for a bird walk through Vesper Meadow followed by a delicious brunch spread. We'll take a loop through the forest and the meadow to see some charismatic Sandhill Cranes as well as the latest spring arrivals. Expect to see Hermit Warblers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Grosbeaks, Western and Mountain Bluebirds, various sparrows including the Vesper Sparrow, Cliff and Tree Swallows, maybe an elusive Hermit Thrush, and many others!
