Leave No Trace… Except a Legacy of Conservation!

Summer is already winding down and most of us still have many things left on our bucket lists! Maybe it’s bird watching at Woodward Point, a morning spent at the Farmers Market at Crystal Spring Farm, or a stroll through the Cathance River Nature Preserve. Whatever plans you have left, there’s something else you should consider addressing which will have greater impact on your family, your community, and your legacy: taking time to plan your will.  

August is “Make-a-Will” Month, the perfect time to consider what impact you want to leave behind. What do you want Maine to look like for your grandchildren? Your great-grandchildren? For any child of the future? 

One profound way to ensure your legacy endures is by supporting Brunswick-Topsham Land Trust (BTLT) through your estate plans. You might choose to arrange a bequest in your will or trust in support of BTLT, designate BTLT as a beneficiary of a percentage of your retirement assets, or name BTLT as a successor-in-interest on your donor-advised fund. However you choose to convey your support, your gift will help us continue our vital work in land conservation, local agriculture, stewardship, and environmental education, ensuring that future generations will enjoy the natural beauty, environmental opportunities, and ecological diversity of our region.
