THE MARGARET C. NYGARD
LAND ACQUISITION
FUND |
MARGARET NYGARD WAS A VISIONARY. She recognized in the 1960s that, instead
of damming the Eno River for water and recreational purposes, the remarkable
Eno River Valley should serve another recreational purpose - that of a State
Park. She dedicated her life to this purpose. In 1995, on the day of her death,
as the flowers began to pour in and overtake her home, her family recognized
the need to create a fund for people not only to express their grief, but
also to help further Margaret's work. And so, with the help of the Eno River
Association, the Margaret C. Nygard Land Acquisition Fund was established.
Donations to the Fund are solely for parkland acquisition in the Eno River
Valley. Since Margaret's death the Fund has grown, been used for land acquisition,
and then grown again. Tax-deductible donations to the Margaret C. Nygard Land
Acquisition Fund, c/o The Eno River Association, 4419 Guess Road, Durham,
NC, 27712, will further Margaret's vision.
