Connecting people with nature

By working collaboratively, we are creating a community where people want to live, work and play.

Who We Are

Guided by our five areas of focus, we transform opportunities into unique outdoor projects.

How To Help

From volunteering to donating land, there are so many ways you can get involved.

What We Do

To date, we’ve raised more than $11 million for parks, open space and waterways – and added over 600 acres of parkland.

Donate To Our Mission

Donate today and you’ll be a part of conserving our lands, creating new places and making outdoor recreation accessible for all.
