Adopt A Preserve- Making Strides and Preserving Access 

From trail maintenance and erosion control at Wilson Springs to habitat restoration at Flint Creek and Betty Hinshaw Bird Sanctuary, our Adopt-A-Preserve supporters are helping keep public access open and wildlife thriving on our preserves. So far, supporters from around the region have contributed more than $24,000 to the program in its first two years,

“We’re incredibly thankful for our community’s support of our public access preserves and for supporting the Adopt-A-Preserve program,” said Marson Nance, NWALT’s Philanthropy Director and former Director of Stewardship. “On average, it costs NWALT around $40,000 a year to keep our preserves managed. Community support is key to maintaining safe and accessible access to these properties which offer unique experiences for all lovers of the outdoors.”

Adopt-A-Preserve is an easy way for individuals and businesses to get involved in local community conservation. Adopting a preserve doesn’t require physical maintenance—just a commitment to conservation. Your contribution directly supports trail upkeep, invasive species removal, habitat restoration, and educational programming. It’s a meaningful way to give back to the land that gives so much to our community.
