We Heart ACK

We're Donating 10% of In-Store Sales to Nantucket Conservation Foundation

DEBUG: core/paragraph

Our love affair with ACK goes on and on and on… Anyone who has been there knows that, while just a stone's throw from major metropolitan areas such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia, Nantucket feels like a world away. It's the equivalent of putting your phone on mute, locking it in a drawer and throwing away the key. Instant serenity. Pure paradise.

Let's keep it that way.

Throughout the month of August, we're donating 10% of all Veronica Beard sales in our Nantucket store on 11 South Water Street to the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the natural beauty of the island. The organization, for instance, owns a whopping 9,006 acres—nearly one-third of Nantucket, generously donated by individuals, organizations, estates, bequests and trusts—that it's kept unblemished, both to maintain ACK's rural character and to protect the rare plants and wildlife within.

But don't just take our word for it. We invite you to check out the charm of the island up close—yes, even those of you quarantined in zip codes, cities and states far away. Head over to the NCF website, where you can tour all the trails, discover Nantucket's fabulous flora and participate in special ecology education programs. To wit: On August 12, Karen Beattie, who's the Director of Science and Stewardship, will be hosting a free Zoom event on the American oystercatcher.

Already there? Then keep an eye out for NCF's roster of fun events, from kid-favorite Staycation Scavenger Hunts to socially distanced walking tours.
