As a land owner, if you are interested in our willing seller acquisition program details about the acquisition process and the various forms required to nominate your property can be found here.

Please be advised, due to the economic downturn and related decrease in property tax values, the funds necessary to purchase all properties nominated after December 28, 2008 are constrained.  Nominations received after this date will be reviewed for compliance with the conservation program goals and, if those goals are met, will be placed on a list for purchase consideration pending availability of funds.  Funds are anticipated to be available in 2011.

Checkout the Calendar for information on upcoming meetings, restoration projects and other Conservation 20/20 events. Our news section is also kept up-to-date with our current events, latest acquisitions and other information.
