    By purchasing a shirt, you’re helping our volunteers establish monitoring stations, acquire conservation land and easements, support natural history researchers in the field, and defray the legal and organizational costs of these activities. As beautiful as they are, we know that a shirt’s not for everyone, so there’s an option to just leave a donation — every little bit helps. Whether or not you choose to buy a shirt or make a donation at this time, we’d be grateful if you’d share a link to our fundraiser with everyone and anyone who might be interested in supporting invertebrate research and conservation, or who might just a want to flaunt some unique apparel.
