American Land Trusts

American Land Trusts are nonprofit organizations dedicated to conserving and protecting land for public benefit, such as parks, wildlife habitats, farmland, or natural areas. They acquire land or secure conservation agreements to prevent development that could harm the environment or community value. These trusts ensure that important natural and cultural landscapes are preserved for future generations, balancing ecological health with public access and recreation. Essentially, they act as stewards of land, working to maintain biodiversity, scenic beauty, and natural resources through strategic conservation efforts.
