But Partners is about more than finances. It's about people. It's about expanding our current network of volunteers, enabling us to accomplish our mission statement more effectively. Partners is about giving back ownership of our natural areas to the citizens of Story County. It involves connecting people with conservation projects where they can actively make a difference.
Partners is also about spreading the word.
Through the newsletter, we will be able to reach more people with information about conservation in Story County. Partners involves members spreading the word to family, friends, and neighbors about Story County Conservation and the natural resources to be found in their own backyards. All memberships receive a seasonal newsletter, calendar of events, membership card, free or discounted admission to selected conservation and Partners events, and discounts on certain merchandise. The mission of Story County Conservation is to enhance the quality of life for all citizens of Story County by wisely managing our natural resources, by providing recreational and leisure opportunities, and by educating the citizens to be wise caretakers of our natural environment.
