Dear Friends of Deer Park Monastery, Our community has been working steadfastly for more than two years to preserve the adjacent open lands and the miles of mountain ridge surrounding the monastery. We have looked to individuals as well as public organizations to help us to legally designate these lands as an open wildlife habitat, thus protecting them from development. Combined with the existing grounds of Deer Park Monastery, this project would preserve contiguous lands nestled in a secure valley for all the animals, plants, minerals, and the people that take refuge here – a sanctuary, as you know and may have experienced, for rest and healing. We need your help to save the western ridge of Deer Park Monastery and the adjacent lands around the monastery before it is sold to developers. We need to raise $25,000 for initial professional fees and $300,000 to secure a purchase agreement for the lands in question. However much your family can donate is appreciated. Below, please change the quantity to reflect the amount you wish to donate.
