Impact | The Conservation Fund

Since 1985, we have protected over 8 million acres of America’s most important, at-risk lands and waters. Last year, we worked on more than 150 projects in 35 states conserving nearly 207,000 acres valued at more than $323 million—35 more projects than the previous year! None of this is possible without you—our partners and supporters.
