May to June 2008 News and Events

Our May Membership Challenge is upon us – it’s time to renew for 2008/09 membership (our year starts June 1). If you’re thinking about joining anew, now is the time – if you’re a local Maine resident and a new member, your donation will be matched! Please help support GPMCT and the WIldlands property! You can donate via our website and JustGive, watch your mailbox for our May mailing, or simply mail us a check. Please note that for the first time in our 15-year history, we’ve decided to raise our base membership rates to match our neighboring land trusts. Membership starts now at $25 for individual; $40 for family. However, no donation will be considered “too small.” Thank you!

GPMCT has received a generous $1,000 challenge grant - the donors will match up to $1,000 in NEW memberships from Maine residents by the end of 2008. Please join now!

Saturday, May 17 – Join us for a Wildlands Bird Walk, 6:30-8:30 am.
