It’s almost the end of 2025! If you haven’t made your year-end gift to the Estuary Partnership, make your gift now. With the unexpected loss of funding that supported 750 students and 200 volunteers, your gift today makes a real difference in ensuring our work has a strong start in 2026. Happiest of holidays to you and yours. Warmly, Erinne
