Leave a Legacy of Conservation

The Dishman Hills are more than trails and trees—they are a sanctuary, a classroom, a refuge, and an inspiration. By protecting these lands, we safeguard a legacy of natural beauty and wonder for generations to come.

Your love for the Dishman Hills can live on through a legacy gift. By including Dishman Hills Conservancy in your will or estate plans, you help ensure that the wild places you cherish will remain protected, accessible, and thriving—today, tomorrow, and forever.

“Over the years I feel the time and money I give to Dishman Hills Conservancy will leave the greatest impact to my children and grandchildren’s physical and mental well-being. I also feel if you want to make an impact with your life, start here in your own backyard with a gift to Dishman Hills Conservancy to preserve and protect what we have left. “

- Chris Kopczynski, world-class mountaineer and DHC Board Member
