A New Vision For Conservation

Advancing Nature and People — Together 

We envision an America where nature and land are protected and valued as essential to climate solutions, sustainable economies, and thriving communities. The Conservation Fund turns that vision into reality by moving quickly, structuring innovative partnerships, and protecting land when it matters most.

Get to know our style of conservation. It's about more than protecting special places — it’s also about ensuring that those places will always be healthy, vibrant and productive contributors to a large and resilient society.

Our Impact

We are the land’s first line of defense — securing special places, advancing economic and environmental vitality, and connecting Americans with the land that sustains us. Because people and nature can only thrive when we thrive together.
