SAN MIGUEL COUNTY STEPS UP WITH $100,000
TO ACQUIRE THE VALLEY FLOOR

At their December 15 meeting San Miguel County unanimously approved their 2007 budget including $100,000 for the Valley Floor acquisition. The money comes from the County’s Open Space and Recreation Fund.

“We are very pleased with the County’s financial contribution to the Valley Floor Acquisition effort. $100,000 is a significant commitment from the County. We applaud this statement of support from SMC’s Board of Commissioners and their recognition of the regional community’s desire to see the Valley Floor preserved as Open Space forever.” stated Hilary White, Program Director of Valley Floor Preservation Partners (VFPP).

VFPP is spearheading the private fundraising campaign to keep the Valley Floor Forever Wild. There are a variety of ways to contribute to the Forever Wild Campaign; place money in the Wishing Well and your donation will be matched by one of the generous families sponsoring the Wishing Well Match Program, give a preservation gift certificate for the holidays, buy our organic cotton t-shirts, hats and tote bags, posters and books sold at local shops, or call VFPP to discuss your pledge or donation at 970-728-8256.

“Our efforts to save the Valley Floor have created national awareness of the importance of saving our open spaces and wild places. We’re making history here, in fact, this may be the greatest conservation story ever told. We want everyone to be a part of the story, and contribute to something lasting and meaningful for generations to come.”
