Join Bob & Dorie Dawkins in Protecting Open Spaces

Bob has proudly served on the Board of Trustees of Five Rivers Conservation Trust as Treasurer since December 2023. During the past two and a half years, we have had the opportunity to see firsthand the remarkable work being accomplished by the organization. We have been continually impressed by the dedication, professionalism, and passion of both the staff and volunteer board members who work tirelessly to conserve the lands that make our region such a special place to live.

Their commitment to protecting farms, forests, wetlands, wildlife habitat, and important natural resources is inspiring. It is one of the primary reasons Bob continues to volunteer his time and serve on the Board of Trustees. We believe deeply in the mission of Five Rivers and in the lasting impact that land conservation has on our communities and future generations.

Our support for Five Rivers extends well beyond board service. We have been proud donors to the organization for more than twenty years and have increased our financial support in recent years as the organization's impact and conservation successes have continued to grow.

As part of Five Rivers Conservation Trust's NH Gives fundraising campaign, we are challenging our family, friends, neighbors, and fellow conservation supporters to join us in protecting the landscapes that define New Hampshire's Capital Region. To encourage participation, we have committed a total of $2,500 in matching funds. Every dollar donated during the campaign will be matched, up to the amount of our challenge gift, effectively doubling the impact of your contribution.

The farms, forests, rivers, streams, and wetlands of New Hampshire's Capital Region are much more than beautiful scenery. They provide clean drinking water, support local agriculture, protect wildlife habitat, offer recreational opportunities, and contribute to the quality of life that makes our communities so desirable. These lands connect us to nature and provide a lasting legacy for future generations.

Five Rivers Conservation Trust works collaboratively with landowners, municipalities, conservation partners, and community members to permanently protect these vital natural resources. Through conservation easements, land acquisitions, and stewardship efforts, Five Rivers ensures that the lands that sustain us today will continue to sustain our children and grandchildren tomorrow.

We encourage you to support Five Rivers Conservation Trust during NH Gives and help make an even greater impact through our matching gift challenge. Together, we can protect the places we love and preserve the natural heritage of the Capital Region for generations to come.
