Clean water. Healthy forests. Vibrant communities. Inspiring scenic vistas. People connected to the land.
Shape this future today with your gift to the Nisqually Land Trust. And, until December 31st, your gift of $500 or more will be matched dollar-for-dollar to $16,000, thanks to the generosity of Ward and Rita Willits, John Mounts and Steve and Yael Klein.
Did you know that…
The heart of the Nisqually River Watershed lies amid the fastest-growing regions of Puget Sound? Renewed development, changes in timberland ownership and the impacts of climate change threaten our past conservation efforts?
Will you consider a gift to the Land Trust so that we can permanently conserve salmon habitat before it is gone, drive cutting-edge restoration, champion landscape-scale solutions, and connect people to the land we love? Your gift will help:
- Permanently protect Nisqually River shoreline habitat critical for salmon recovery;
- Launch the second phase of Ohop Creek restoration and support collaboration with our many watershed partners;
- Advocate for local ownership of local working forests – a Nisqually Community Forest – to benefit both people and wildlife; and
- Grow our volunteer stewardship program and engage hundreds of local youth to care for the land.
To move these critical projects forward, we must raise $40,000 by December 31st. Your gift today of $100, $500, or more will leverage millions of dollars for conservation of the Nisqually River Watershed. Click here to make a gift today.
Only with your support can we address the threats to the future we envision. Your investment will help keep our water clean, our forests healthy, our communities vibrant and our iconic vistas scenic for generations to come. You are central to this future-shaping work!
With Warm Regards,

Advisory to all Macy’s cardholders. Please tell everyone you know about this too, as it can show up on your credit report as a negative mark. If you have not used your Macy’s card for 2 years, you have lost it. In times of recession, I don’t use my credit cards, so had not used my Macy’s card since 2011, but made all of my purchases with cash. They never notified me that first they had dropped the limit then canceled the card solely due to non-use for 2 years. I was floored at hearing this. Then they said, well it isn’t really canceled, it’s just not valid until you provide us with all of your personal information. Right there in full public, they wanted me to enter all of my personal and financial information into the little open to the public box that people swipe their cards on. I refused. So they got someone on the phone – in INDIA, who I could barely understand. He wanted me to aloud and in full hearing of the public tell him my name, address, phone #, birth date, SS #, drivers license # and my annual income. I told him where to put that idea. Do not ever give out all of your personal and financial information in public! I started to leave then went to a different cash counter to ask if they had offices in the store. When I told them why – I was a Bon Marche cardholder for years before Macy’s bought them out 21 years ago and issued new Macy’s cards. Always in good standing, never late, never any problems at all. The cashier told me the exact same thing happened to her customer last week – and he had his Macy’s card for 30 years. I contacted Macy’s corporate, and learned that Macy’s has sold their credit cards to CITI and no longer have any authority over them. So, the deal is, if you spend hundreds of dollars in cash at Macy’s, you are dirt. If you put $50 on their credit card every other year, you are a valuable customer. No one can fix this because Macy’s no longer handles their own credit cards. The final irony is, last week I got an actual letter from CITI telling me I had such a great credit rating that they were offering me a special preferred CITI card – already approved!!! I think this is going to come back to bite Macy’s. They are no longer the company they used to be. If my cash isn’t good enough for them, I will shop elsewhere. I hope you will too. They need to stop using snips from “Miracle on 34th Street” in their ads, too, in an effort to get people to feel all warm and fuzzy about Macy’s. Macy’s has made me feel that if I pay cash for my purchases, I am not valuable to them at all – and neither are you!
