Together, We Can Protect Local Land Forever

Will you help ACRES make this a record-breaking season for land protection? Recent and upcoming land acquisitions total 915 acres, meaning the amount of land ACRES owns and protects is about to increase by 14 percent!

These acquisition projects amount to a combined value of almost $10.5 million. Thanks to the full donation and discounted purchase of most of these properties, ACRES will acquire them for a fraction of that! We have just a fraction left to raise!

We need your help to raise the remaining $107,443 to cover the costs associated with protecting these places.

Your gift will directly support vital forests, wetlands, grasslands, and rare habitats. Together, we can ensure that they will remain intact for centuries to come.
