Q:
Are Nature Conservancy preserves open to visitors?
A:
The majority of Conservancy preserves in Utah are open to visitors for hiking, bird watching, nature study and photography. A few preserves are generally closed to the public, either due to access or liability problems or because even limited use would destroy the natural features we seek to protect. You can find descriptions and directions to many of these preserves in the Preserves section of this web site.
Q:
Where does The Nature Conservancy's money come from and how is it used?
A:
A significant portion of the Conservancy's funding comes from individual donors--people who make contributions of $25, $100, $1,000 or several thousands of dollars. Other sources of income include bequests through estates, corporate and foundation donors, gifts of land, interest income from our endowments and other invested funds... and money from government grant programs. Copies of our annual reports are available to interested individuals. Contact Teri Black, our Director of Operations, for more information.
About 76% of our spending goes directly to program activities in areas such as land acquisition, protection, and stewardship. The combined categories of membership, development, and general and administrative costs accounted for the other 24% of our spending.
Q:
How can I learn more about the Conservancy's work?
A:
When you become a member you will receive a state newsletter two times each year. The Basin, Range & Rimrock focuses on the Conservancy's work in Utah. It also includes information about field trips, volunteer work parties and special events. You can download our most recent copy by visiting the News Room. You will also receive our national Nature Conservancy magazine six times per year, which tells you about the Conservancy's work nationally and internationally.
If you have other questions, please feel free to contact Heidi Nedreberg, our Marketing and Outreach Manager.
