Those seeking a quiet refuge on the picturesque Lake Erie Islands may choose Middle Bass Island East Point Preserve — conserved in part by funding from the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

Land trust staff are fantastic at building relationships — with landowners, stakeholders and elected officials, among others — to protect land in their service areas.
Werowocomoco, the capital of the Powhatan chiefdom and one of the most significant Native American sites in North America, now has another honor designated to its name: conserved forever.
I hope my fellow leaders in the land trust community will take responsibility to make sure your boards review the new Land Trust Standards and Practices.
