donate real estate to Indian River Lakes Conservancy

We chose to provide a gift of real estate because we believe in Indian River Lakes Conservancy’s mission.

The world is in such chaos globally, so the best way we know to help us all to create a more sane and sustainable society is to support strong, visionary local organizations. We trust them to protect the local watershed for generations to come.
