Working Lands
Did you know that an estimated 40% of America’s land is used for agriculture? Or that forests cover roughly a third of the country? We need “working” lands like these for food, jobs and more. We support ranchers, farmers, foresters and entrepreneurs who operate, or use, working lands sustainably. By doing so, we improve local economies, conserve landscapes and maintain generations of tradition.
