Land Conservation
Our people-focused, business-minded approach has enduring impact and multiple benefits. We’re more ecologically and community oriented than our for-profit “business” competitors, and more economically focused than our “conservation” competitors. We are positioned perfectly to occupy the space in between — helping people understand that it’s possible to unite their economic and environmental priorities and achieve results that benefit both.
Using a variety of transactions and continually reinvesting our funds into new conservation projects once others are finished, we’ve helped permanently preserve nearly 9 million acres of land in all 50 states.
