About the Northeast Region
The seven Northeast states of New England and New York are the birthplace of land conservation in this country. Home to 35% of the country’s nearly 1,700 land trusts, the Northeast represents great tradition and accomplishment among land trusts of all sizes in the region. By 2005 national, local, and state conservation groups saved 8.47 million acres in the Northeast, 12.13% of the area’s total land mass. Learn more about the Northeast >>
