Protecting land from development is just the beginning.
We work to ensure that conserved lands — both our own preserves and privately owned land subject to conservation easements — are maintained in ways that sustain natural resources and wildlife populations, and protect the quality of our rivers and streams.
We offer stewardship advice to landowners whose property is subject to a conservation easement, providing consultations on best management practices, invasive plant control, or ecological restoration.
We partner with our landowners in protecting their conserved land by visiting each property at least annually and reviewing any proposed construction or subdivision plans.
We write and implement comprehensive property management plans that guide the protection of sensitive natural and cultural features.
