Since 1994, we have protected more than 20,000 acres of land, created outdoor recreation opportunities, safeguarded our drinking water supplies, protected scenic views, preserved historic sites and family farms, and much more.
We protect land through a variety of ways, including: purchasing land, accepting land donations, placing administering grants and loans to partner organizations, conservation easements on private land, providing technical assistance to landowners interested in managing their property more sustainably, educating and informing the public about land protection tools, supporting the development of laws and regulations that promote and benefit land and water conservation, and convening and facilitating partnerships that build the capacity of communities throughout West Virginia to protect our state’s land and water resources.
