Become Part of the Legacy

"Beaver Brook Association will become an island of green in a sea of humanity."
~ Jeff Smith, co-founder
 
You can become a part of the Legacy and make a lasting difference to preserve one of the most valued natural treasures in southern New Hampshire. Join the ranks of those that have made a Life Long gift in expression of their individual values and shared love of nature.
Including Beaver Brook Association as part of your will is the most common type of lifetime gift and is quite simple to do. You may also consider listing Beaver Brook Association as a beneficiary on an existing life insurance policy. There are many approaches to planning a Life Long gift that can be mutually beneficial for you and Beaver Brook Association.
 
"I was brought up here and walked and rode horseback with my father through all these woods. . . I felt it would be wonderful if this kind of thing could go on in perpetuity."
~ Hollis Nichols, co-founder
 
Hollis Nichols and Jeff Smith created the Legacy of Beaver Brook Association for all to enjoy-whether it is a walk in the solitude of nature or an invigorating program teaching the important role of protecting the natural world around us. Although they may not have realized it at the time, it was an opportunity of a lifetime that only became a reality through their decisive action.
Talk with your financial professional or family attorney about the many benefits of Life Long giving for you and the organization you support. You can also call Beaver Brook Association's office at (603) 465-7787 for more information or a referral to a financial professional.

"Because of having Beaver Brook I've had the chance to learn to love nature and want to protect it. It has given me the chance to become the person I'm supposed to be."
~ Chris Lalmond, Beaver Brook student, teacher and nature enthusiast
