Land, Water & Wildlife Protection
By the Numbers: |
We have protected more than 8.5 million acres of land and water in all 50 states. Every dollar invested in our Revolving Fund goes directly to protecting land, over and over. By recycling these dollars, we have saved lands valued at more than $7.2 billion. |
We offer rapid and nimble action, along with deep expertise in a wide array of complex transactions. By continually re-investing our funds into new conservation projects once others are completed, we’ve helped permanently protect over 8.5 million acres in all 50 states.
