Catamount Institute

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Catamount Institute!

We hope you have a safe, fun, and memorable holiday filled with family, friends, and time outdoors.

Please note that our offices will be closed on Friday, July 3, in observance of the Independence Day holiday. We look forward to reconnecting with you after the holiday weekend.

Have a wonderful Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

Join us in honoring the late Heather Campbell Chaney through a gift to the Heather Campbell Chaney Environmental Fellowship Fund.

For 25 years, Heather's dad, Charlie, has worked tirelessly to fund the fellowship annually, ensuring each summer brings a new steward to Palmer's protected lands and an educator to Catamount Institute. But now, Charlie is focused on something bigger: transforming the fellowship into a perpetual endowment.
Your gift can help anchor the fellowship's future, ensuring Heather's spark becomes a steady, eternal flame. Your donation supports:
· Establishing the perpetual endowment that will fund fellows forever
· Bringing children outside to build wonder and responsibility for nature
· Ensuring future fellows can continue monitoring Palmer's forever-protected properties
· Creating environmental and conservation leaders for generations to come

We hope you will consider a donation to the fund using the QR code. Thank you!
