Drew University and the Borough of Madison have signed a purchase agreement to protect the Drew Forest forever. The purchase will be funded with municipal, nonprofit, county, state, and federal partners — and Friends of the Drew Forest is raising the final $5 million needed to close.
Thanks to a $2.5 million match from an anonymous benefactor, we’re close to reaching our goal! Many supporters have already stepped up quietly, and now we’re inviting the broader community to help with this historic purchase.
To our 15,000 petition signers: you helped build the public case for saving the Forest. Your voices mattered and helped bring us to this moment. Help now to push us across the finish line — visit the Friends of the Drew Forest website to contribute.
