The trust has money for Red-cockaded Woodpecker projects. In addition to research the trust can fund conservation and education projects. We are actively looking for these projects. Please submit one!
Financial times are tough and obviously, contributions have slowed to a near standstill for the last 2 years. But the need continues. We awarded $3,200 from grant requests of $15,949. As you can see there is always a need to grow the trust endowment fund for future grants. Your contributions of any amount that you feel comfortable with are greatly appreciated! Please send any contributions to Barry Haas, AAS Trust Treasurer.
