Conservation Land Trusts

Conservation Land Trusts are organizations dedicated to protecting natural landscapes, wildlife habitats, and open spaces from development or destruction. They acquire land through purchase or donation and manage it to preserve ecological health, scenic beauty, and recreational opportunities. These trusts work with communities, governments, and landowners to ensure that valuable natural areas remain preserved for future generations while sometimes allowing sustainable recreation and use. Their goal is to balance ecological conservation with public benefit, maintaining biodiversity and natural processes.
