UVLT Jewelry Benefit Auction

Barbara Haak, devoted UVLT volunteer and enthusiastic jewelry buyer, has donated her jewelry collection to be auctioned online and at Designer Gold in Hanover — all proceeds will go toward supporting children’s programs on conservation lands, goals that Upper Valley Land Trust has had on its drawing board for several years.

The auction pieces will be on display at Designer Gold in Hanover, NH. Come to Designer Gold to see everything in person from March 25-April 2. All bids will be accepted online. For your convenience, Designer Gold will have extra computers to facilitate bidding right there.

Join in the Triple-Win: Help UVLT create children’s programs on conservation lands, honor Barbara Haak’s generosity with your purchase, and get a great bargain for yourself. Save the date and look for more announcements as we get closer to the auction dates.

We work with local conservation commissions and volunteer groups to identify and prioritize land conservation opportunities. We provide technical assistance and conservation solutions for landowners. We steward permanent agreements that conserve key properties forever.
