Why Mordecai Island?That we humans, who seem to have a penchant for changing and “improving” everything we see in nature, can stop this process is probably a pipe dream. As Stewart Farrell has said, the fate of these islands is to wash away. But since we clearly have accelerated the progress of erosion, perhaps we can take some steps to retard — and in the process save for a few more generations — what is indeed inevitable. It is on this premise that the Mordecai Land Trust was formed.
Our Partners
The IRS has determined that the Mordecai Land Trust is tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”) and not a private foundation pursuant to sections 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Code. Mordecai Land Trust was established in 2001.
