Freshwater Land Trust manages over 12,500 acres of land, making us one of the largest owners of private nature preserves in Alabama. As an accredited land trust by the Land Trust Alliance, we monitor our properties annually and actively manage our land to sustain healthy rivers, forests, and wildlife habitats.
Stewardship Overview
Our stewardship works falls into three broad categories:
- Monitoring and managing our land, using a variety of management techniques
- Protecting the habitat of wildlife and endangered species through land acquisition and restoration
- Providing public access to our conservation land whenever possible through events such as hikes and tours
Our Land Stewardship Department is led by Director Sam McCoy. sam.mccoy@freshwaterlandtrust.org
