Lanita Witt Memorial Scholarship Fund

Your donation will help students and campers visit the ranch for educational programs offered through The CREST.

Community cooperation and assistance was of prime importance to Lanita, who died December 15, 2022. Scholarship support allowed her to attend college, then medical school at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, support she never forgot.
Join the community of supporters who are strengthening students’ connection to Farm, Forest, Water, and Each Other. This revolving fund will provide transportation and scholarships for students attending Summer Enrichment Programs at The CREST.

Become A Turtle Team Tributary!

Western Pond Turtles are an iconic indicator species, whose habitat is endangered throughout most of the Northwest region.

The tributary springs and streams that fill the Turtle Pond at Willow-Witt Ranch year-round also provide the water for the Ranch’s organic gardens and dwellings.

Similarly, monthly and annual contributions to The Crest are the tributaries that nourish The Crest’s Garden of Dreams. By making your donation on a monthly basis, the resulting cash flow provides security and stability for the benefits to children, families, and individuals who visit Willow-Witt Ranch.

Please consider making a monthly contribution to The Crest, at whatever level feels comfortable for you.

Turtle Team Tributaries will receive special invitations to hikes, private gatherings, and in-town sessions with Suzanne Willow, Carrie Vath, Paul Sheldon, Michael Parker, and other Crest resource people, as well as discounted admission to Crest Fest. Turtle Trot, and other events.
