The Legacy Club
Leaving a Legacy for Nature
About The Legacy Club
The Legacy Club is a group of Nature Conservancy supporters who have made a lasting commitment to conservation by making a life-income gift with the Conservancy or by naming the Conservancy as a beneficiary in their estate plans. The Legacy Club is a way for us to recognize this profound contribution to The Nature Conservancy's future. We thank our Legacy Club members around the world for their dedication to preserving the diversity of life and for their foresight in providing for its future.
“Now, a portion of my accumulated efforts will be used to support what I have believed in and worked for the protection for future generations of the most important natural areas on Earth. I am also reminding my children of my values, which I hope I’ve successfully instilled in them too.” - Joel Adams, North Carolina Trustee
