COMPLETED
ONE-TIME ACTION

Action Track: Accelerating Solutions

Save Rigaud Mountain

Rigaud Mountain is an expansive natural resource that we rely upon to run many of our Outdoor Education courses, here at JAC. It is under extreme pressure from development and mismanagement, and in desperate need of protection. Facing COVID and the Climate Crisis, the need to protect our few remaining local intact forests, is more stronger than ever. We need them, for our health and wellness, and they are disappearing. If you are able, please support this important cause and take a few moments to forward this letter to others who understand its importance. The petition and funding pages are accessible through the "Learn More" button.

    This morning, I was walking near my house and I realized that many sites around me were under construction. This concerns me because I live on the edge of a river and I know that this contributes to the pollution of the river water. At the same time, walking so frequently help me enjoy nature on a daily basis which is beneficial for my physical and mental health.
