All right, back to business. I think I explained earlier (when I donated to the David Suzuki Foundation) that with my early pay each month I'd contribute to some organization or charity of some kind, at least to some small degree.

This month, the big winner is the Nature Conservancy Canada group. In their own words...

NCC is Canada’s only national charity dedicated to preserving ecologically significant areas through outright purchase, donations and conservation easements...Since 1962 we have secured a long-term future for more than 1,400 properties, comprising 1.8 million acres of magnificent woodlands and seashores, internationally significant wetlands, threatened prairies, and a host of other precious natural places. And in the process, we’ve won the confidence of Canadians who want to protect their natural heritage for generations to come.

Indeed. Christine recently read, and told me about, an article about them in the Ottawa Citizen and I liked their approach. So I'm in!
