Conserving Our Rivers and Wildlife Habitat

We often take them for granted when we drive past them on the way to work or school. The natural areas and rivers of our region are essential to life itself. The rivers provide drinking water to residents, water for local businesses and industries, and recreational opportunities for all of us. Like the rivers, the undeveloped natural areas provide sanctuary and refuge to native wildlife, great and small.

To date, TRLT has conserved over 30,000 acres of wildlife habitat and over 380 miles of rivers and stream corridors, helping to ensure a future for local wildlife and humans alike.

Testimonials

“The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant, "What good is it?" If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of eons, has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering.”
