What can be done to raise large sums of money for land conservation?

Get the word out! Send a letter to the editor, send a chain email, make posters, make speeches at schools, everything! I would also suggest contacting high school students who need volunteer hours to help you organize a campaign, particularly students in the IB program, as they need 50 service hours to graduate from the IB program. I know of two programs in Polk County as well as two in Orange County and one in Tampa. I have some friends in the IB program, and they're desperate for service hours, so they would be ideal candidates to help you get the word out.

What I want to do is ask the director of parks if it is okay if I gather people to hear a speech about helping the animals and if anybody would want to donate money could they? I would also ask, if the director of parks said yes, can I put signs to get people interested in hearing my speech or just to donate money.

That is something that I will probably do for 5-10 days if the director of parks lets me.

To begin I would make a club in a Church to help.

You can do one of those things were people donate a certain amount of money for each athletic thing a person does. (like 10cents for every lap a person runs of $1 for every jump over a jump rope. Sorry I don't know what its called.

buy it with your own money and work hard to pay it off. that what most people do
