LA CROSSE, WI – Mississippi Valley Conservancy announced that it has received a rare gift of $1 million from an anonymous donor who wishes to see the donation tripled to become a legacy for the Conservancy. To bolster its long-term commitment to protect designated lands in the nine-county area it serves, the Conservancy has launched an endowment campaign to fulfill the donor’s vision with a fund named “Our Children’s Natural Heritage Endowment.”
