Support River Fields's work to protect the Ohio River, its lands, and the people who depend on them! 

We're celebrating our 65th anniversary this year. That's 65 years of stewardship, conservation, preservation, education, and advocacy. Sixty-five years of speaking up for what's right for the river and its communities. We're grateful for the community support over the decades that has gotten us here, and we're looking forward to the future. 

We'd like to invite you to participate in our Give for Good campaign by donating in an amount that celebrates that 65th trip around the sun for River Fields. Whether you can make that $65, $650, or $6500, we want you to help us celebrate that special number with us. Your support can help us:

--Maintain and keep open to the public beautiful places like Garvin Brown Nature Preserve for all to enjoy

--Offer public programming on the historic properties to which we hold conservation rights

--Fund in perpetuity the stewardship and legal protection of conservation easements we hold on 2200 acres in three counties

--Create interpretive signage and other materials to educate the public about our lands and our work

--Advocate for sustainable planning practices 

--Engage the public in pushing our elected officials to make decisions that support the common good

--Partner with other organizations like the Falls of the Ohio Foundation and the Kentucky Heritage Council on meaningful projects that affect the whole community

--Take many other actions that nurture and protect our community's cultural, historic, and natural treasures -- for us all!

We envision a community where cultural and historic treasures are protected, land is stewarded, and the river is cherished for the natural wonder it is. We can't do it without you, so please celebrate our 65th anniversary and Give for Good on Sept. 12 by supporting River Fields with a generous, tax-deductible donation! Thank you for your support and your trust. 

Thank you to Robert W. Griffith for his matching grant of $5,000! Every dollar we earn during Give for Good will be matched by his generosity up to $5,000 to help us reach our goal of $15,000.
