Here's a few fun facts about land trusts!

- 61 million acres of private land have been conserved to date via land trusts across the United States. This is more than all the National Parks combined!
Do you know the significance of land trusts and their impact?
- Land trusts are nonprofit organizations that work tirelessly to conserve land through various means, including land acquisition, conservation easements, and stewardship programs. By partnering with landowners, government agencies, and communities, they safeguard critical ecosystems, promote sustainable land use practices, and foster a deeper connection between people and the natural world.
