“We are all paying it forward. We’re all in it together. That’s how we’ll make a difference.”
"It feels good to know that someday, somewhere in the world, a forest will be preserved or a lake is clean because of my donation. I guess that's why they call it a legacy."
"We support the Conservancy so that it can continue to protect important natural places."
"I Want to leave something that will allow the work to continue with out me."
“What will future generations have to look forward to if we don’t take care of nature?"
"I chose to leave a charitable bequest because it allowed me to support the Conservancy in a way that I’m not able to do now."
"I made a charitable bequest to the Conservancy because I want whatever I accumulate in life to go in a positive direction"
"Once we decided to make a bequest, Conservancy staff were so helpful. It was as simple as can be."
The Lawrence’s gift reflects the confidence they placed in The Nature Conservancy to create their legacy.
They understood from experience how everything in nature is connected so they felt strongly about protecting it.
