Your Donations Have Been Doubled
Your donations have helped Sanne Kure-Jensen turn $35,000 into $70,000 for the West Klosterman Preserve
You and Sanne Kure-Jensen have reached the goal of together raising $70,000 to help save the West Klosterman Preserve. When we started this matching campaign on June 1, we set a goal of $20,000 by July 15 which would be matched to raise a total of $40,000. You responded with your contributions and we reached $20,000 on June 21. Sanne then generously increased her matching pledge to $35,000, and your response brought us to that goal by June 27, so a total contribution of $70,000 will be added to what we have raised so far and help us continue to close the gap of raising $1.5 million to match Pinellas County’s $1.5 million for the Preserve.
When we advised Sanne of your support and response, she said, “Continued generous community support will surely preserve the imperiled sand scrub and pine flatwood ecosystems of the West Klosterman Preserve. Together, we will protect this home for threatened Gopher Tortoises and endangered Giant Airplants. Longleaf pines will continue to grow in their namesake Pinellas county. Thank you so very much to everyone who contributed to this worthy project.”
You may have met this friend of the Preserve, Sanne Kure-Jensen, at one of our tours or events, or at meetings of the Florida Native Plant Society and other organizations involved in environmental preservation and stewardship. She has a long history of working to protect natural lands and native species. Sanne recognizes the urgency of protecting the imperiled sand scrub habitats as well as several endangered and threatened species thriving at the West Klosterman Preserve.
Sanne lives in Pinellas County, and is a Florida Master Naturalist, a Florida Water Steward and is dedicated to protecting and preserving our rapidly disappearing natural habitats. She has actively served in and supported environmental preservation organizations across the country. View Sanne’s virtual tour of the Preserve here.
So again, thank you to those who gave donations to be matched and thank you, Sanne, for providing the match that made this giant step possible. More is still needed. Please make your donation and help Sanne and WK Preservation Group save the West Klosterman Preserve.
$50 that will be $100
$100 that will be $200
$500 that will be $1000
