Woods & Waters Land Trust

Not every conservation success is measured in acres.

Sometimes it looks like this.

Protecting healthy forests, wetlands, and waterways means protecting habitat for all the creatures that depend on them, from the impressive to the wonderfully warty.

Land protection gets the headlines, but much of conservation looks more like this.

Kat has been in the field working on baseline documentation—carefully recording the conditions and conservation values of a property as part of the process of protecting it.

It’s detailed, behind-the-scenes work, and one of the many things happening every day to turn conservation opportunities into lasting protection.

There’s always something new to notice at the Backbone Wetland. Guided walks and volunteer outings give people a chance to explore this remarkable 43-acre wetland and forest while learning more about the wildlife and habitats that make it special.
