Join Us!
From the outset, Valley View’s mission of conserving land, preserving history and sharing it with the community has resonated with people who share an appreciation for our natural world and a commitment to its protection.
Since 2002, we have been offering great outdoor experiences and connecting community members with our land and its history. People of all ages come to unplug, leave structure and pavement behind to enjoy being outside!
Your membership serves as an example of your commitment to the protection of our natural environment, local history and of beneficial outdoor experiences for the community.
Member benefits include: Free or reduced admission to member events, an annual membership packet, reduced rates on garden plots and a new kids night hike!
Valley View Foundation is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization so your membership/donations may be fully tax deductible based on your individual tax situation.
