Help SAVE THE ROSES!
For years, I've been an advocate for the preservation of the small, rural areas that formed Oklahoma's iconic Rose Rocks. There's an urgent need to protect them. The land where the highest concentration of Rose Rocks are found is under threat, directly in the path of a proposed turnpike extension. If the turnpike is allowed to be built, the Rose Rocks would be destroyed. But there is still time to make a difference.
Your support is an investment in the preservation of a precious natural resource and ensuring that future generations can experience and understand these incredible treasures. The opportunity to save the Rose Rocks will quickly be gone. Help safeguard a piece of Oklahoma's soul, as well as a piece of mine. Please make a profound, meaningful impact by donating today
