We drive impactful, innovative land-based solutions
Whether it takes 10 days or 10 years, we drive land-based solutions by being collaborative and tenacious.
How do we achieve this?
- We implement our mission through land: how it is owned, stewarded, developed and financed.
- We use our expertise in land-based programs to help ensure that our communities are thriving socially and economically.
- We demonstrate equitable solutions that enable collaboration and self-determination of the communities we serve.
- We institute landscape-scale approaches that address climate change, social equity and population growth.
What are the impacts?
- We’ve conserved more than 275,000 acres of community, habitat and recreational land, ensuring the protection of critical conservation and community assets.
- We’ve managed hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours, ensuring beloved spaces and urban forests remain vital and vibrant community spaces.
- We’re linking conservation and community-driven development to build affordable housing and spaces. Currently we are developing 1,000 homes and developing 80,000 square feet of commercial space for BIPOC businesses.
