We’ve highlighted some of our most iconic preserves onto one easy to access webpage!  This selection of preserves has everything you need to keep your family happy. Some of these preserves even have special preserve passports that you can use while touring the preserves with your little explorers.

These preserves feature trails that are easy to navigate, water to cool off in, and safe parking. We believe that special places like these should be accessible to all, regardless of physical ability or background. Starting with these most beloved preserves, we’re working to improve the experience for all people looking to access nature.

Some of the ways that you can benefit from protecting their land by working with Land Trust include:

• Saving Limited Resources: Land is a scare resource. Efforts to conserve land lead to better scenic views, cleaner water, wildlife habitat, and more land to enjoy.
• Tax Deductions: Qualified donations of land and conservation easements are tax deductible
• Estate Planning: Conservation easements reduce the value of the land proportionally to how restrictive the terms are in the easement making the transfer of land to an heir less complicated. This in turn can reduce the amount of property taxes that are owed on it.
• Increases Surrounding Property Values: Protected land has been proven to increase the value of land in surrounding areas.
• Encourages Efficient Development: Land protected from development can encourage efficient development in existing areas rather than encouraging sprawl.
