The Macricostas Family has launched a 2:1 match challenge to support the completion of the Isaac Camp House. For every dollar donated towards educational programs and exhibits at the house, the family will contribute two dollars towards the restoration.
Thanks to you, Hidden Valley grew by 206 acres in 2023. These lands stretch along scenic rivers and connect to pollinator meadows. Help us create new pathways on this beautiful land. With a trail development budget of $95,000, every contribution helps.
