Over the past 35 years, the Conservancy has protected over 3,400 acres of natural space, led thousands of hours of land restoration volunteer events, and reached over 30,000 students through their outdoor education programs. They invite the community to support its ongoing work through its 35th anniversary matching campaign, where a private donor has pledged to match all donations made in 2026 dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million.
