550 New Acres Underway

Accessible Trails
We’re rerouting and restoring overused trail sections and making new trails more accessible for hikers, cyclists, and slow movers to enjoy.
Got Land?
As a land trust, we conserve lands that offer significant value in capturing carbon, protecting biodiversity and are highly resilient in the face of a changing climate. We protect these lands permanently through acquisition, acceptance of land donations or through conservation easements.
