$7 million campaign
Fundraising
The Friends of Burde Street Ponds Society is raising $7 million to purchase the three properties surrounding the ponds.
Protecting all three properties
The Burde Street Ponds properties are up for sale, offering a rare opportunity to protect the ponds and surrounding habitat. The campaign aims to purchase all three lots, and time is limited.
Wetland conservation is a national priority. Federal and provincial grants, along with funding from conservation agencies, may help support the purchase. The biodiversity of the Burde Street Ponds could support applications for this funding.
The fundraising goal is $7 million to purchase all three lots.
Donations
Donations help cover the campaign’s initial costs, including acquisition of the lands and ongoing management costs.
Tax receipts are not available. For donations outside of GoFundMe, please reach out to saveburdeponds@gmail.com.
