I have been impressed with Columbia Land Trust’s landscape-scale conservation approach, as well as their restoration of individual sites. While revising my estate plans, I added them as a beneficiary of my IRA.

If the gift of my property to Columbia Land Trust can conserve even a small piece of the world I grew up in, then I will have done some good. For this reason, I have named Columbia Land Trust as beneficiary in my will and trust.
