ClearWater Conservancy launch its public fundraising campaign, its Campaign to Connect, on October 21, 2023 during its Annual Meeting and Celebration. The fundraising effort is intended to accelerate the pace and scope of local conservation efforts and establish the ClearWater Community Conservation Center along a quarter mile of Spring Creek in Houserville, at the center of the Spring Creek Watershed.

ClearWater's Campaign to Connect is a $10 million campaign to connect and protect priority landscapes and streams while enhancing everyone’s appreciation and understanding of the natural world. $5 million for the campaign has been raised, with $5 million remaining to be raised during the public phase of the campaign.
ClearWater envisions these vital efforts unfolding in a place where both people and nature can connect and grow. This place, the ClearWater Community Conservation Center, will be located along Spring Creek, in the center of the Spring Creek Watershed where so much of the nationally-accredited land trust’s work is focused. The Center will be home to offices, gathering spaces, and outdoor demonstration areas where everyone can experience and contribute to conservation efforts relevant to our local region.
Wow, $10 million for a conservation center, that's huge! attachment style test I saw the graphic rendering of the center and it looks like a great place for community engagement. I wonder how it will look when it's finished, especially after reading about the timber frame topping ceremony. Must be exciting to see such projects come to life, especially after a long day on the train.
10 million bucks, wow! palm reading online I just read this on the train, and I'm like, 'what a cool project.' The idea of a conservation center along Spring Creek sounds amazing, especially after seeing that graphic. I bet it'll be a great spot for weekend trips.
My response is that this campaign represents a forward-thinking approach to conservation. Protecting natural resources while educating the public creates long-term benefits for both the environment and the community. The fact that half of the fundraising Sprunki goal has already been achieved demonstrates strong support for the project and confidence in ClearWater Conservancy's mission.
