Leaders for Land: Wildlands Launches Corporate Giving Program

Making the Business Case for Saving Land For Everyone, Forever

Paula and Bill Harris, co-founders of WH Cornerstone, joined Leaders for Land to support the maintenance of Wildlands Trust’s headquarters, Davis-Douglas Farm in Plymouth.

Many forward-looking businesses today identify conservation as a core value. Business leaders with this mindset see land stewardship as a strategic investment—a way to fulfill their brand promise and build a stronger connection with their communities. This mindset inspired Wildlands Trust’s exciting new corporate partnership program, Leaders for Land.

Leaders for Land allows mission-driven businesses to make a lasting impact on local and regional communities by investing in the care of a public preserve in Wildlands’ growing portfolio of protected land across Southeastern Massachusetts. By supporting Wildlands, businesses elevate their profile and demonstrate leadership in their commitment to protecting our region’s natural resources for generations to come.

“A clear trend shows that customers, employees, suppliers, and all other business stakeholders favor conservation-conscious investments in the community and in this region we call home,” Donor Relations Manager Rob Kluin said. “Wildlands’ mission is relevant to everyone, and in a world so often divided, it’s heartening to see how that leads us to common ground.”
