When landowners donate land to MUC, everyone wins. How?
Landowners no longer have to pay real estate tax on the land.
MUC is tax exempt, 501(c)(3)–we don’t pay tax on the land donation.
We DO protect the land as green space.
Local students experience healthy nature in urban communities.
Every single one of us has a stake in regaining and maintaining the healthy biodiversity of our planet. For our food, medicine, raw materials for clothing and shelter, breathable air, potable water, livable climate, mental health and other elements necessary to sustain life.
At our current rate of biodiversity loss, every species on earth faces increasing devastation and extinction.
The World Economic Forum estimates that in the past 50 years, from 1970 to 2018, wildlife populations around the world declined by 69%. In 20 years, by 2045, our loss of biodiversity could result in a collapse of ecosystems worldwide. That would be a threat to all life on earth.
The good news is, this trend is reversable. By working together, we can turn Massachusetts cities and towns into biodiversity contributors.
MUC is seeking volunteers interested in visiting sites and participating in our conference Zoom meetings as well as financial or land donations.
