About the cover. Canada lynx © Matthew Quaid, greatnorthernimages.com: I was
snowshoeing and noticed very fresh lynx tracks and heard the magpies making a lot of
noise, so I decided to explore more. As I came out into an opening, there the lynx was
at the edge of it, and she even walked toward me as I clicked away. I believe she was
curious at the unique sound of the camera shutter. But that didn't last long and she left
to the security of the thick woods.

Making a conservation bequest
A PERSOnAl lEGACY
Conservation Northwest protects and connects old-growth forests
and other wild areas from the Washington Coast to the BC Rockies:
vital to a healthy future for us, our children, and wildlife.
Amazing to think it has been 25
years keeping the Northwest wild, and
thanks to all of you! Yet some of our
greatest supporters are those we may not
even know about—people who have
included Conser vation Northwest in
their estate plans. If you are one of those
generous folks, please accept our deep-
est appreciation. If you have not yet con-
sidered your estate plans, or if you have
a will without provisions for a charitable
gi, please consider this opportunity to
establish your personal legacy.
Today, 80 percent of Americans make
gis to charity each year, yet only 8 per-
cent make gis in their wills. Imagine if
the full percent of Americans who give
during their lifetimes also made a chari-
table gi through their estate plans!
Oen people think that their estate
may not be significant enough for such
considerations. Regardless of size, we all
