Conserving Your Land Protects Communities
Land is America’s most vital and valuable resource. Conserving our land helps ensure we all have access to clean air and drinking water, food security, scenic landscapes and views, recreational places, and habitat for the diversity of life on earth.
CAUTION: the United States is losing land at an alarming rate, with more than 2 million acres of land lost every year to inappropriate development (USDA/NRCS Natural Resources Inventory [2005]). Current rates and patterns of land consumption, if left unchecked, will result in wide-scale loss and fragmentation of the special natural places we need and love within the next 20 years. Land lost, is land lost forever.
You can help make a difference and preserve:
- healthy communities,
- clean air and water,
- natural areas, and
- local food resources.
If you own land that you would like to see remain free from development – for your lifetime and for future generations – then join landowners across the country taking a stand to safeguard the places they love– productive farms, ranchlands, wetlands, and coastlines.
