​Donate Today!

Every year Lacawac reaches out to our friends to ask for support through our annual appeal.  The dollars that are donated to Lacawac through the annual appeal represent the most important funds we received all year – operating dollars.
​Your gift to the annual fund provides day-to-day operating expenses which support everything from trail improvements and facility maintenance to preservation.
