Where We Work | The Conservation Fund

By the Numbers:

8,850,034 acres of land and water saved in all 50 States

Every dollar invested in our Revolving Fund goes directly to protecting land, over and over. By recycling these dollars, we have saved lands valued at upwards of $7.9 billion.

The Fund has been active in all 50 states since its founding in 1985. Please click on your state to learn more about our efforts - often with local partners - to advance conservation and economic goals.
