Benefits of Sponsorship
Natural areas provide many health benefits for you and your community.
- Natural areas provide habitat for wildlife: Most animals require specific plants for a healthy diet. Without a diverse habitat, animal species cannot survive.
- We rely on that wildlife for survival: Three quarters of leading global food crops rely on animal pollination: the work of bees, birds, bats, and insects to produce the food we eat every day. When they’re not busy pollinating our crops, those animals need a refuge in which to live.
- Spending time in nature provides physical and mental health benefits: In addition to natural areas providing opportunities for outdoor recreation and physical activities (such as hiking, running, walking, and biking) growing scientific evidence confirms that spending time in nature can lower blood pressure and pulse rate, restore our ability to focus, and reduce the symptoms of ADHD, just to name a few.

- Even if you never visit a natural area: You benefit as the trees, plants, and wetlands continuously filter the air you breathe and the water you drink.
If you are a sponsoring business or organization, you’ll benefit in additional ways. We offer multiple opportunities for exposure, depending on the sponsorship level you select. Your name will be affiliated with a great organization and an event that supports the natural areas our community needs and loves.
