Donate to Indiana Forest Alliance

Chances are, there’s someone in your life who introduced you to the pleasures of Indiana’s wild natural beauty. Because of them, you know why forests matter: for reasons of heritage, ecology, well-being and just plain beauty.

By the grace of generous people, the Indiana Forest Alliance staff works everyday to defend our public forests from destructive logging. Can you show your love for Indiana’s forests by donating to our Thankful for Forests campaign before December 12? Here’s what your donation accomplishes:

• mobilizing groups around the state to protect their local public forests
• engaging scientists to study forest wildlife such as the state endangered hellbender salamander
• inspiring people with events like the Wild & Scenic Film Festival

Give/join now for the first time and we’ll put your gift to work advocating for pro-forest legislation in 2019 while pressuring Governor Holcomb to instruct the DNR to set aside Indiana’s older public forests from logging.

Make this donation count. When you give today, note the name of the person who showed you the wonders of the outdoors. Tell your story in the “comments/notes” section of our online form. We’ll publish their name and yours. What a great way to honor the memory of your forest mentor!

In this season of gratitude, thank you for helping the Indiana Forest Alliance do the urgent work of preserving the forests we all cherish.

Gratefully,

Sandy Messner, IFA Development Director

P.S. Give $75 by Dec. 12 and get an aluminum IFA water bottle.

Maybe you’re a hiker who wants to make sure trails aren’t closed due to logging. Or a parent or grandparent who wants to see a legacy of nature left for your (grand)kids. Or a mushroomer who cherishes the bounty of undisturbed forests. Or an urban dweller who wants to live in a more forested city. This is the community you join when you join IFA.

When you give, your support helps the Indiana Forest Alliance spread the word about a sustainable forest future — to legislators, the media and to ordinary Hoosiers. Your dollars keep the IFA staff on the ground, investigating the commercial logging happening in our’state forests, documenting the diversity of wildlife there, developing a case for valuing forests in new, less destructive ways and watchdogging our government. Will you be our partner in this work?

Learn about IFA’s current projects, what difference they will make, and the support needed for each.
