    I'm a neighbor of the Preserve, or pass by it on a regular basis. I'm aware of the Preserve and, in general, know that it is significant.
    I work(ed) in and/or have a personal interest in science, the environment, technology, or healthcare. I care about cultural and natural history, and about conservation science.
    I'm the parent of young children - under 12 years old. I'd like my kids to explore nature and the outdoors.
    I'm the parent of middle or high school youth who are interested in nature stuff. My kids like to explore science at a substantive level. They can understand the uniqueness of the Preserve.
    I am a regular Preserve visitor. I like to recreate in the Preserve and appreciate it as an open space resource.
