Clean water
Every living thing on the planet depends on water for survival. Land trusts are working on creative solutions to protect water quality, secure water quantity and promote equitable water access in every state across the country.
We can't afford to let our wells and water taps run dry or become polluted. What happens on land directly impacts the quality of the water flowing from it.
Land trusts have already conserved 61 million acres of private land across the nation — more than all of the national parks combined. Help us conserve another 60 million acres by the end of the decade.
Together, let’s keep Gaining Ground.
Forests, grasslands, farmlands and other green spaces all have important roles to play in filtering and storing the fresh water that supports wildlife and healthy communities. Land trusts around the country are deepening their involvement in water issues related to pollution, drought and floods from extreme weather events.
