Goal is to create a principle in the minds of Americans that our protected lands will be protected forever. The need comes from an uncomfortable trend to violate preserved landscapes. Universities, churches, Boy Scout groups, and even environmental organizations are increasingly tempted to sell places they accepted with the promise that they would be saved forever. Years after the donors are long dead, land values go up, and the temptation to cash in takes over. We believe protecting these lands and honoring the promises to do that are more valuable than money.
