Hunting Lands
Many hunters will tell you, hunting is an American tradition that depends on open space. At The Conservation Fund, we know that hunters appreciate the need for natural areas. We also know that for conservation solutions to last, they need to make economic sense. When land is saved for public recreation, it becomes a valuable community resource—for hunters and others who enjoy activities like fishing and hiking. For more than 25 years, the Fund has been working to save America’s favorite outdoor places by helping local communities protect their natural areas. Check out some of our land conservation projects that have preserved open space for hunting, more than 90% of the more than 7 million acres we’ve saved is open for public recreation, including hunting.
