Protecting land from future development is only the first step in conservation; we believe we must actively care for the lands we own as well – for the benefit of both people and wildlife.
Our staff of 15 land managers is expert in a variety of stewardship and restoration techniques and actively engage in projects such as the creation of new wetland areas to improve water quality and biodiversity, reintroduction of native grasslands to improve grassland bird habitat, reforestation of former farm fields, and the use of prescribed fire to regenerate grasslands and wildflower meadows.
Additionally, our Center for Conservation Landowners allows us to share our broad-based experience in stewardship with both public and private landowners throughout the region. The Center offers educational opportunities and a range of consulting services for landowners and land managers interested in restoring the rich and complex habitats native to this region.
