Embrace your inner Nature Nerd and support ANCA!
Since 2015, ANCA Donors have supported the Richard Haley Memorial Fund and the ANCA Operational Reserve through the ANCA Nature Nerd Campaign. With a contribution, donors may choose to receive a Nature Nerd pin to proudly display their support and their nature nerdiness.
Based on the location of the ANCA Annual Summit, each year’s pin is a unique way to celebrate the ANCA community.
Your Nature Nerd donation will be invested in the ANCA Operational Reserve. This fund was established to provide ANCA with the financial resources necessary to operate during difficult financial times ensuring that we can continue to provide our members the support and resources they need.
The 2024 Nature Nerd pin features the Zebra Swallowtail Butterfly, the state butterfly of Tennessee, to celebrate the biodiversity of ANCA Annual Summit host site Lichterman Nature Center in Memphis — and the butterfly even adorns a pair of Elvis glasses.
And if you want to be extra nerdy and extra awesome, please consider increasing your donation. You will have the option of choosing Nature Nerd pins from previous years – they make fabulously nerdy gifts!
