"I believe
it is the inherent responsibility of all Virginians to preserve
wildlife, habitat, traditions and the values that we hold so
dearly. Through the Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation I am doing
my part to preserve our natural world, and I encourage you to
join the WVLT and take an active role in preserving the natural
resources of Southwest Virginia through voluntary land
conservation."

Why is Your Membership Important?
Financial
Security:
Only a large and diverse membership base can provide the security we
need to continue saving land. While we work hard for grant funding,
membership dues are vital to fund day-to-day operations. For a minimum
of $25 you can help keep our staff working on deals to save our scenery
and sense of place.
Credibility and Clout:
Your membership strengthens our grant
proposals to foundations and government agencies by showing our
broad-grass roots support. When we approach elected officials to
promote conservation issues, your voice will be added to our appeal.
Eyes,
Ears and Word of Mouth: We
count on our members to help promote conservation and alert us to
opportunities. With the information you'll gain from newsletters and
special events, you could be the next member who leads us to conserve a
special place.
More Land
Saved:
With a larger membership and donor base,
we will be able to expand staff and programs as we race against the
clock to preserve more of our vanishing natural heritage.
WVLT is a
501(c)(3) charitable organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of
Virginia
