Oakland Land Conservancy



Oakland Land Conservancy works with both public and private landowners to protect land through conservation easements and other methods. We follow up by carefully managing the land we protect. Our educational programs and stewardship days help children and adults learn to be better stewards of the land they care about. All these efforts are conducted within the framework of a green infrastructure vision. Green infrastructure is defined as a system of interconnected open space that preserves natural systems and water quality and provides benefit to human populations.
