  • “Any real strides in the conservation of our natural resources must come from the general public, and can be brought about only through increasing awareness of our surroundings.” ~ Dr. Mary E. Wharton, Floracliff Founder

Dr. Mary Wharton built a legacy at Floracliff when she diligently purchased and protected the land, established it as a non-profit nature sanctuary, and left an endowment to fund its care and management into the future.

Today, the endowment remains essential but donations and grants provide more than half of our annual operating income. Generous financial support from our donors and partners is critical to the success of Floracliff’s land stewardship and nature-based educational programs. With your help, we are continuing the legacy Dr. Mary Wharton started.
