Regional Land Conservation Trust
A preserve matters more once it connects to its neighbor.
Greenbelt protects wild land, working farmland, and coastline through conservation easements, direct acquisition, and long-term stewardship — building toward connected corridors wildlife can actually move through, not isolated islands of habitat.
Signature Feature
The Living Map
Every protected preserve is a soft, living bloom. As neighboring preserves both reach secured status, an organic corridor grows between them — the same way roots or lichen spread, not a network line snapping into place. The two gaps you see are our current acquisition priorities.
Hover a bloom for the preserve name. This is our real demo preserve network, not a decorative illustration.
Two gaps remain in this corridor — Granite Creek Meadows and Sentinel Bluff. Your gift can help close one.

Four strategies, one connectivity goal.
Headwaters & Riparian Restoration
Protecting and restoring streamside habitat for salmon and steelhead — often one culvert or one hedgerow at a time.
Coastal Access & Habitat Program

Working Farmland Protection
Conservation easements that keep family farms in production while permanently barring subdivision and protecting on-farm habitat.
Ridge-to-River Wildlife Corridor
Connecting upland ridge forest to the valley river bottomland through a continuous chain of protected oak woodland and meadow.

Two Ways to Help — Pick What Fits
Give, or give your time.
A gift funds acquisition and stewardship directly. Volunteering and membership build the standing community that makes the whole organization work. Both matter — neither substitutes for the other.
