“The Trust’s mission aligns with my belief in the need for diversity in nature, specifically agriculture. Making sure that we have a diverse farming community, growing all sorts of local fruits and vegetables, is important for our survival. I support the work of the Trust because they are dedicated to making sure that agricultural biodiversity continues. Â
“My love of history is another reason that I will leave a legacy gift to the Trust. The Trust believes in a world in which farmers and their history is important. I feel that by supporting the Trust, I am supporting a vision of the future that I would like to see, where children can enjoy wide open fields, fresh, local food, and an abundance of dragonflies.”
