You are the KEY to the BPC.  Please Donate TODAY!

12/28/2017

As the new year approaches, please consider this New Year's Resolution: Be a Pond Hero and renew and/or become a 2018 contributing member to the Brewster Ponds Coalition, winner of the Brewster Conservation Trust's 2017 Conservationist of the Year award.

It's easy, click here to become a member or donate online on the BPC website.

Already more than 170 individuals and families have renewed or become new members and pushed the Annual Appeal thermometer to 77% of the 25,000 goal.

Your membership is the BPC's primary funding source, and your support ripples throughout the Brewster community, helping to preserve our beautiful ponds in so many ways:

​
  • Fostering Brewster’s next generation pond stewards with the Grade School Pond Education program
  • Protecting Brewster’s townspeople, visitors, and wildlife from cyanobacteria—a potentially harmful blue-green pond algae—with the Citizen Scientist Pond Monitoring Program
  • Helping Brewster neighborhoods—like The Save Blueberry and Sol's Pond group—with their local pond preservation with technical advice, information and financial resources
  • Educating Brewster households about pond friendly practices—like landscape design and septic system management—to protect water quality.
You'll receive our quarterly e-newsletter—the Winter issue to be published January 1st—as well as discounted rates to BPC educational and recreational events—like the upcoming January 18th private member screening of the New Blueberry Pond Storm Water Remediation Video and the Pond Ecology talk series in February. 

Thank you for your continued support!

Thanks to the generosity of more than 130 members, just over $15,000 has been raised to date in the 2017-8 Annual Appeal. That's terrific progress for which we are all grateful.

It's exciting to get this far, but we still have $10,000—or 40% of our goal to raise before January 31, 2018.

  • If you haven’t already, please consider becoming a contributing member and making a donation online on the BPC website and share this link on to as many people as you can.

 We are determined to meet and even exceed our goal, but we can’t do it without you. Thank you so much for  your generosity and support!
