FODR Legacy Society

A Bald Cypress is a keystone species that is at the heart of the Dragon Run.  It supports a wide range of functions and supports biological communities.  In nature's grand cycle, old-growth trees, such as our incredible Bald Cypress, become life-giving sanctuaries for countless organisms, fostering biodiversity and sustaining the vitality of the entire ecosystem.  For centuries, the Bald Cypress of the Dragon Run, has supported this incredible and vital place of inestimable value to this region.

Similarly, you can play a vital role in the ongoing legacy of our work to preserve, protect, and encourage wise use of the Dragon Watershed even after your time on this earth.
