Legacy

Why Saving Your Land Matters

Families conserve their land for many reasons. Most want to know the land they love will remain whole beyond their lifetimes. Whether saving a family farm from future development, preserving rural landscapes for the community, or saving a place for local wildlife populations, the Northwest Arkansas Land Trust helps families leave an important legacy for future generations. 

Saving Land

The Northwest Arkansas Land Trust is committed to preserving the agricultural and scenic landscapes that define our region. By working with landowners to conserve their land, and with developers and city planners to define development boundaries, the land trust strives to ensure that our farms remain working, our views remain unspoiled, and the places we love remain unaltered.
