Invest in the Cacapon & Lost Rivers Watershed
With your generous support, the Cacapon & Lost Rivers Land Trust can permanently protect more land, wildlife, and water quality.
The Cacapon watershed has 1,700 miles of rivers & streams, 50 species of greatest conservation need, and some of the most productive farmland in West Virginia. It’s also still 85% percent forested! The Cacapon River is one of the most ecologically healthy tributaries to the Potomac River, providing drinking water for millions of people downstream.
Please help us protect what’s worth protecting! Thank you.

Remember Us in Your Will
One of the easiest ways to donate to the Trust is through your will. There are several ways.
- Specific Bequest: Name the Trust as the beneficiary of a specific item, e.g., an amount of money, a parcel of land, a specific stock, or stated percentage of your estate.
- Residuary Bequest: Designate the Trust as the recipient of all or a part of the remainder of your estate, after specific bequests have been fulfilled.
- Contingent Bequest: Allow for a contingent beneficiary (the Trust) to receive your estate’s assets if your named individual beneficiaries do not survive you.
Bequests to the Trust are deductible from your estate, offering your heirs estate tax savings.
For gifts that are designated in your will, the Trust should be identified as:“Cacapon and Lost Rivers Land Tr, Inc., a nonprofit organization organized under the laws of the State of West Virginia, having its principal address at PO Box 57, Capon Bridge WV 26711, EIN: 55-0700086.”
