You Can Give the Gift of Nature This Holiday Season with a Donation to the Arcata Forest Fund

This is a press release from the City of Arcata:

Arcata, CA – The City of Arcata Environmental Services Department encourages community members to consider giving the gift of nature this holiday season.

The Arcata Forest Fund at the Humboldt Area Foundation provides a source for private, tax-deductible donations to assist the City of Arcata in purchasing forest lands to be added to the Arcata Community Forest, Sunny Brae Forest and Jacoby Creek Forest.

Donations to this fund go directly toward the purchase and restoration of local forest lands and will help the City leverage state and federal grants. Forest lands purchased through these funds help preserve and expand open space around Arcata, and will be managed for recreation, watershed and habitat protection, carbon sequestration and sustainable forestry use.

Donations to the Arcata Forest Fund can be made online by visiting hafoundation.org/Giving/Make-a-Gift-Today/Give-Now, or by calling the Humboldt Area Foundation at 707-442-2993. Community members may also send donations by mail to: Humboldt Area Foundation, 363 Indianola Rd, Bayside, CA 95524.
