Donate

Every dollar goes to work.

The CVTA is supported entirely by donations. (We sell nothing. We charge no fees.) Some times it just costs money to:

• secure public access for trails from landowners willing to sell
• buy construction material, contract with engineers and surveyors
• maintain trail signs and route guides, printing and website costs
• hire skilled people to coordinate and teach volunteers and youth groups working out on the trail
• pay staff to stay on top of and ensure compliance with government regulations and permit requirements

We do apply for and win competitive government grants to help fund many of our projects. However, these grants can pay only part of the cost of any one item. Private donations are needed also for each thing we buy to create the trail.

Donate building materials, or help us out with your equipment.

Maybe you've got some stuff you are looking to get rid of that would be useful on the trail. Give us a call. If it is worthwhile we can haul it away at no cost to you.

Businesses take note - donations of inventory to CVTA can be tax deductible.

Can't afford to donate? Bargain sales are great too - give us a deal while recovering some of your original cost.

Or, do you have power equipment that you would be interested in bringing to use at a trail building project?

wish list . . .

• Landscaping or construction material left over or salvaged from a renovation you have completed.
• The old culvert from when you put in the new, bigger one on your driveway.
• Stone or timbers used in small retaining walls.
• Tree seedlings that can be transplanted to areas along the trail that need to be revegetated.
• Standing timber you want to clear, but you don't have a use for the logs.
• Mulch hay that is no good for use with animals.
• Inventory you cannot sell such as lumber that is imperfect or wood stain nearing expiration.
• Hand tools, yard tools. A little rusty is OK. Shovels, wheelbarrows, hammers . . .
• Volunteer to help us with your brushhog or weedwhacker.
• Bring out your small tractor with a bucket or a backhoe to a trail building project.
• Use your truck to help us pick up material donated by other people!
