We are excited to introduce the Bur Oak Legacy Society, a new legacy giving community. Named for one of Minnesota's most enduring native trees, the Bur Oak Legacy Society recognizes supporters whose generosity provides the strength, stability, and long-term vision needed to tackle our most pressing environmental challenges.

Marie deGrood, a longtime supporter who cared deeply about Minnesota's outdoors, became our first Bur Oak Legacy Society member when she left Great River Greening a gift in her will. That enduring support ensures her commitment to our environment lasts well beyond her own lifetime.

Contact Karin Meier, Advancement Director, at kmeier@greatrivergreening.org. Gifts to the Bur Oak Legacy Society are managed in a fund at the St. Paul Minnesota Foundation and are restricted to ensure environmental impact well into the future.
