Penny Press Machine
$4,500

Visitors always ask for an inexpensive keepsake when visiting TNC. A penny press machine will provide that and help generate income for our small non-profit. Help TNC obtain a fun way for visitors to take home a piece of TNC (while still leaving no trace).

StoryWalk® Fixtures
$6,000

TNC's StoryWalk® trail is a visitor favorite however the current method to hang the pages of each book is wasteful and often the entire book has to be replaced each season. These professional fixtures will make it so TNC does not have to waste materials and time.

Butterfly House
$6,500

TNC seasonal butterfly house enables visitors to enjoy walking among free-flying native butterflies while learning about pollinators. The annual cost for care and maintenance of this fun and educational seasonal exhibit needs to be raised every year to ensure this exhibit can continue.

Pavilion Path Lighting
$8,000

Help TNC replace and upgrade the current lighting fixtures (bollards) which are prone to vandalism, waste energy, break easily, and require constant maintenance with LED bollards that are vandal resistant.

Pond Species Survey
$13,000 - $21,000*

• A map of dominant plant species and estimated relative abundance.
• A list of organisms found.
• A list of native organisms observed.
• A list of non-native organisms observed

Fit-Trail System
$21,165

Help TNC add new recreation elements for all visitors to enjoy. Fitness trails combine exercises with walking or jogging to provide a well-balanced fitness routine. With exercise stations spaced along a trail, the participant proceeds from one station to the next and performs the exercises illustrated at each station.

Campfire Ring Education Pavilion
$35,000

Help TNC construct a covered pavilion in its campfire ring education space. This space is utilized by thousands of school children, scouts, and campers. Additional outdoor classroom space will support and allow students to more closely observe our forest and wetland habitats; and provide the shade and inclement weather protection to year-round, all-season programming. TNC completed a smaller pavilion in 2022 in our Forest School classroom space and this additional covered pavilion will complete the necessary structures for our current outdoor classroom spaces.
