Mission
Founded in 1985, The Conservation Fund is dedicated to advancing America's land and water legacy. We conserve land, train leaders and invest in conservation at home. From our headquarters in Arlington, Virginia and our field offices across the country, we've saved over six million acres of wild havens, working lands, vibrant communities and more. As a trusted real estate partner, we help government agencies, land trusts and nonprofit organizations acquire and conserve land for recreation, habitat, historic value and more. We also develop market-based conservation strategy that balances environmental protection with community and economic development. Finally, we work directly with communities to offer conservation programs that provide land-use planning, economic development, leadership training and the application of innovative technology.
