To date, the organization has conserved more than 23,000 acres. The Land Trust owns and manages a network of 30 nature preserves and holds 140 conservation easements on land that remains in private ownership. It also assists other nonprofit organizations and government conservation agencies in establishing parks and establishing public conservation areas.
