The Conservancy works to perpetually conserve the natural resources of our region through fee simple acquisition or the establishment of conservation easements. The Conservancy maintained trails on its nine publicly accessible nature preserves. The Conservancy provided education to the general public regarding land conservation through direct mail, newsletters, community meetings and events, social media and the website. The Conservancy continued its community outreach through engaging people of all ages in citizen science projects, river clean ups, and the Conservation At Home community program. The conservancy owns nine fee simple preserves totaling 1,003 acres open to the public for low impact recreational use.
