Conservation for Our
People, Land & Culture
We protect & secure land for traditionally marginalized and underserved communities – advancing food access, working lands & community spaces.

Along with conservation, we also invest in education and training that build pathways into
conservation and agriculture, expand diversity in outdoor spaces, and grow the next generation of land stewards.
Our Conservation Model centers
Access & Stewardship
Our work supports farmers, growers, and local leaders as they build long-term relationships to land that create stability, opportunity, and shared wealth
We envision a future where land is accessible, protected, and stewarded by the communities most connected to it.
We Value:
Access – Land should be available to those who have been historically excluded from owning and stewarding it.
Community Control – Decisions about land stay with the people who live on and care for it.
Stewardship – Land is treated as a living resource, protected for future generations.
Equity – We work to correct systemic barriers in land ownership, conservation, and agriculture.
Collaboration – Strong partnerships with farmers, organizations, and communities drive lasting impact.
Sustainability – Environmental and economic practices that support the long-term health of land and people.
We are all about farms, gardens, and natural spaces and making sure that they are held in trust, feeding people, sustaining culture, and strengthening local economies across Connecticut and beyond.
