Leadership Giving Circles

Individual members who make annual contributions at the $1,000 level and higher are welcomed into the Leadership Giving Circles in recognition of their generous support to sustain the work and mission of the Forest History Society.

As a Leadership Giving Circle member, you make it possible for the Society to maintain and grow the largest collection of forest and conservation history in the world. Your generous support keeps our extensive collections and our reference staff (historian, librarian, and archivist) available as a free public resource for users worldwide. Most importantly, gifts at this level allow the Society to seize strategic opportunities when they arise, allowing the flexibility to respond to the highest priorities each year in the forest and conservation community. Our ability to take action when an opportunity presents itself means that more historic collections will be saved and preserved for future generations, and more of these materials will be featured and brought to life through educational programs, digital exhibits, books, films, and lectures.
