We strive to be open and available to the public.  Did you know that it costs $1,079 per day to be open, accessible, and operating the Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary?  This includes expenses for office and building supplies, education and Center materials, insurance, buildings and grounds maintenance, occupancy (including utilities, security, cleaning), telecommunications, employee salaries and benefits, and the list goes on!  Please consider a gift to help us keep our gate open!

Bequests
A gift through your will can be transformational. Your gift is made only with the money that is left after your lifetime needs have been met. Please consider putting aside a set gift or a percentage of your estate for the Randall Davey Audubon Center & Sanctuary. Percentage bequests are particularly convenient because you will not know the total value of your estate in advance. By using a percentage, the dollar amounts will automatically adjust to the size of your estate.
