Our organization is nationally accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission for meeting rigorous standards of conservation excellence.

Thirteen of our preserves are open to the public, where we maintain over 30 miles of free hiking trails, offering outdoor recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities. We also provide free environmental education programs for local schools and community groups, reaching thousands of students each year with hands-on lessons in nature. Community members can get involved through volunteer workdays, guided hikes, and citizen science projects, deepening their connection to the land and helping to ensure a healthier, more resilient environment for future generations.
