This GivingTuesday, we invite you to join people around the world in supporting the causes that truly matter. As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of Umstead State Park, we’re reaching out for your help to protect the park’s natural integrity and ensure its preservation for future generations. Our goal is to raise $90,000 by the end of the year, and we’re just $6,474 away from unlocking matching donations that will double the impact of your gift.

RDU Quarry Permit Denial & Appeal
The Umstead Coalition’s legal efforts are moving forward, despite attempts to block them. We are steadfast in our commitment to preventing a quarry from being built on the Odd Fellows Tract, and we remain hopeful that the park’s invaluable natural resources will be safeguarded. To stay updated on our progress and learn more about our fight to #StopRDUQuarry, check out our 2024 year-end update here.

Your support today is crucial to ensuring the continued protection of Umstead State Park. Help us protect the irreplaceable! Donate now.

PS: We’d love for you to join us for a family-friendly hike with a naturalist at Umstead State Park on December 15th from noon to 2 p.m. It’s a wonderful way to explore the park and connect with others who care about preserving it. We hope you can join us!

The Umstead Coalition is a volunteer-led, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by individual members and 16 partner conservation organizations. All donations and membership fees are tax-deductible.
