We Save America's Favorite Places

Even if you’re just learning about The Conservation Fund, chances are you already know many places we’ve helped protect—national parks, Civil War battlefields, recreation destinations of all kinds. For more than 25 years, we’ve combined a passion for conservation with an entrepreneurial spirit to protect your favorite places before they become just a memory.

To save land and sustain communities, our team supplies conservation strategy and tools. When local leaders wanted to expand a park in Pennsylvania, for instance, our real estate team managed the purchase of the land. When Nashville’s mayor needed a plan to protect the city’s best natural features, our land use planners designed it. And when 11 low-income Michigan counties needed a more reliable supply of fresh food, our community development team found the funds to help disadvantaged farmers succeed.

We know that for conservation to last, it needs to make economic sense. We invite you to learn more about our efforts across America, from the places we protect to our part in fighting climate change and improving our nation’s green infrastructure. These are just a few examples of what we do at The Conservation Fund every day.
