Tomorrow, we kick off CATS Giving Week! Our goal is $20,000 and we already have a match of $10,000 — meaning every gift you give is automatically doubled. 🐾

All week, we'll show you exactly what that protects: forever-conserved land, farm-to-trail hikes, mountaintop music, and a sky full of stars. See you tomorrow. 🍂

🍂 It’s Fall, y’all, and something big is coming! 🍂

This Sunday, we’re kicking off our very first CATS Giving Week and we've got a running start: a generous, anonymous donor will match every dollar you give, up to $10,000! 🙌

That means your gift doubles its impact on the trails you love. All week long, we’ll be sharing the highlights of what we’ve accomplished together this year, plus plenty of the leaf-peeping, view-soaking beauty that makes the Champlain Valley so special. 🍁🥾

Mark your calendar for Sunday, lace up your boots, and get ready to help us make it a week to remember! 💛
