From the start of this project going back to the late 1990s, the Loess Hills Preservation Society has celebrated and been grateful to so many donors.  Hundreds of individuals, as well as many foundations, conservation organizations, and public programs.    Here, though, are some notable contributions beyond all the others that merit attention.

Thanks, though, to everyone and every organization for supporting this important effort.
