From gear to wonderful experiences in Marietta and surrounding areas, you can’t miss this fundraiser auction for Friends of Lower Muskingum River (FLMR). The pre-event online auction runs from Monday, February 17, 2020 through Saturday, March 7, 2020 at 8 PM. Bid on some amazing packages and support a terrific local non-profit organization.

How will the proceeds be used?

Proceeds will help cover stewardship costs for FLMR property and enforcement of conservation easements which permanently protect the land from uses that the landowner who created the easement does not want to allow. These uses might include timber harvest, construction of buildings, trash piling, and conversation of forest to agricultural land. Subsequent landowners agree to conservation easement restrictions when purchasing the property, often at a reduced rate because of the restrictions. FLMR insures the conservation easement (contract) is upheld to protect land with conservation value (headwaters, diverse species, and diverse habitats). This process is very legally costly. Your auction purchases will help cover these costs so we can continue to protect conservation land from harm.
