We need your help to protect the valuable agricultural lands of Washington and Rensselaer counties. These lands are an irreplaceable resource, and safeguarding them is an important part of ensuring the future of farming in the Upper Hudson River Valley. As development pressure builds in the greater Capital district, we must respond by accelerating the pace of our conservation efforts. Our goal is to protect 15,000 additional acres of farmland by 2015, bringing our total to 25,000 conserved acres.
Sponsoring ASA's events and programs is a great way to demonstrate your committment to protecting local farmland while promoting your company to a wide audience of people who care about the future of our community. It's a good deal for everyone!
This year we are pleased to offer three great sponsorship opportunities to support our community programming. We offer a generous package of sponsorship benefits for each of our events and programs and are confident that our members will recognize and appreciate your investment.
Landscapes for Landsake – ASA’s Landscapes art exhibition is the premier event of the season and our biggest fundraiser of the year. Last year’s show was a great success. More than 2,000 visitors attended and we raised $30K for farmland conservation. This year marks the show’s 12th anniversary and we are expecting another huge turnout.
