Urban Conservation

BY THE NUMBERS:
We have performed green infrastructure activities in close to 40 states and have completed greenspace plans for three of the largest metropolitan areas in the country.

The Conservation Fund works across America to support healthy, vibrant cities and more equitable and livable neighborhoods. We start by listening, working with people, local partners, and civic leaders to implement their visions. Our balanced approach to nature and our built environment is helping to revitalize neighborhoods, unite communities, and position cities to thrive for every resident.
