Land Management
Once land is protected, the job of conservation is only partly done. Natural Lands Trust believes that land must also be managed and restored to ensure ecological excellence and sustainability.

Our staff of land management professionals is expert in caring for natural lands to:

  • provide healthy habitat for flora and fauna - especially native and threatened species
  • link communities with the land
  • demonstrate the power and importance of land conservation
  • showcase the state-of-the-art in land management techniques

Whether establishing a native grass meadow or using controlled burns to manage invasive plants, the preserve staff is dedicated to optimizing the region's natural areas.

Nature Preserves
Natural Lands Trust owns and manages over 20,000 acres of nature preserves in the region. This is where the majority of our land management work is done.
