🚨 LAST CHANCE! 🚨

There are only a few hours left of #GivingTuesday, and we are just shy of our $3,000 goal.

This isn't just a number—it means over two acres of wetlands will be protected. Forever.

We can't get there without you. If you've been waiting, now is the moment.

The momentum is REAL! We are absolutely blown away by this community. 🤯 Thanks to you, we've already raised a significant amount toward our $3,000 Giving Tuesday goal!

That's a huge step toward protecting 2 acres of wetlands, but we're not there yet.

😍 IT'S ALMOST HERE!

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday, and you can be a champion for our nation's wetlands. Our goal is to raise $3,000 to conserve and restore over two acres of these critical ecosystems.

For every $1,303 raised, we protect another acre.

🎉 It's almost here! This Tuesday is #GivingTuesday, the biggest day of generosity of the year. We have a goal: to raise $3,000 to fund the conservation and restoration of over 2 acres of vital wetlands. Every single dollar raised will go directly toward our stewardship fund to make this possible.

🦃 This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for... you. We're thankful for a community that understands that our health is tied to the health of our planet.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Unique Places to Save!

We believe that beautiful wetlands and unique natural spaces deserve to be protected forever. Don't you?

With only ONE WEEK left until #GivingTuesday, we are gearing up to make a massive impact on conservation efforts across the country. 🌲🦆

How do you make a restoration project last forever?

Our partners did incredible work at the Speedman Project in North Carolina. They took a former farm field and:
✅ Restored 3,500 feet of stream channels
✅ Removed old drainage ditches
✅ Replanted forests to protect wetlands

What’s the point of spending years and millions of dollars restoring a stream... only for it to be bulldozed for a subdivision a decade later? 🤔

When we think of "land conservation," we often picture pristine, untouched forests. But what about the lands we've already worked hard to heal?

What does it actually take to restore and protect a wetland forever? It takes a dedicated fund and a team of experts. Based on our track record, we know that for every $1,303 raised, we can fully restore and permanently conserve 1 acre.

🍺🎣 We know clean water is essential for life, but what about for your favorite local brewery or fishing spot?

👉 The connection is more direct than we think. Mandi Taylor explores how poor water quality can devastate local economies, threatening everything from property values to thousands of jobs.

This is where conservation meets community.

On the Deep River, the obsolete Ramseur Dam fragments habitat for vital species (like the Yellow Lampmussel) and blocks paddlers on the Deep River Blueway.

It was a concrete problem.

For decades, the 235-foot-long Hoosier Dam blocked the Rocky River, choking off 253 miles of habitat from a 1,100-mile downstream network. This was devastating for aquatic populations, including the endangered Cape Fear Shiner. 🐟

The Slowplay property is truly something special with its rolling hills, valleys, grasslands & forested areas. For generations, its pond has been a go-to spot for catfish and an escape from summer heat. Seeing places where agriculture, nature & conservation efforts come together, is truly inspiring.

🦦 A family of beavers in the Czech Republic just saved the government $1.2 MILLION by building a series of dams that restored a vital wetland ecosystem.

We're talking improved water quality, a boost for local wildlife, and better flood prevention, all for the low, low price of... absolutely free!

Conservation isn't just about acres; it's about people. Meet our Executive Director, Christine Pickens.

For Christine, this work is personal. "I have dedicated my career to understanding and restoring natural systems, and now I can actively protect these same systems for generations to come."

🌊 This is what a healthy coastline looks like!

At Point Farm, we helped protect over 1,300 acres of pristine land, including 1,100 acres of vital tidal salt marshes.

These wetlands are powerhouses of biodiversity, acting as nurseries for fish and filtering our water.
