Giving Tuesday: Rooted in Purpose

Just like the strong roots of a tree, Indian River Lakes Conservancy's work in land protection, stewardship, and education grows deeper and stronger when it is nourished by the support of people who care. We invite you to calendar in Giving Tuesday, December 2, and become rooted in IRLC.

Why does this matter to you? Because the Indian River and its lakes are more than just landscapes, they are part of our community’s identity. They are our backyards, they are where hikers explore, where kids imagine, where wildlife thrives, and where clean water begins. Supporting IRLC means ensuring that the natural treasures we love today will still be here tomorrow.

For nearly three decades, IRLC has been protecting the unique landscapes of the Indian River Lakes region: safeguarding forests, wetlands, and lakeshores that are home to diverse wildlife and vital to clean water. Every acre we protect is an investment in the health of our community. Every trail we maintain is an open door for families to connect with nature. Every new piece of land we conserve strengthens the roots of our mission.

This year, Rooted in Purpose focuses on two key priorities:

Stewardship: Caring for the trails, preserves, and habitats that so many of us enjoy year-round. From trail maintenance to habitat restoration, stewardship ensures that today’s natural beauty will be here for generations to come.

Land Acquisition: Expanding the network of conserved lands across our region. By protecting more acres, we’re not only preserving scenic views and wildlife habitat, but also safeguarding clean water and creating new opportunities for outdoor recreation right here in our backyard.

On December 2, 2025, Giving Tuesday, you can help IRLC grow deeper roots. Your donations make a direct impact in protecting land, maintaining trails, and sustaining the natural wonder that makes this place so special. Become Rooted in Purpose with US!
