About the Foundation

The National Conservation System Foundation was created to ensure the Bureau of Land Management is able to provide long-term protection for the lands and waters within the National Landscape Conservation System. Our mission is to protect, restore and expand the Conservation System through education, advocacy, and partnerships.

Today, the Conservation System faces serious challenges. But in communities across the West, volunteers are joining together to support the Conservation System. They're maintaining trails, helping scientists study important archaeological sites, helping with education, and demanding that politicians and land managers protect the system.

The National Conservation System Foundation will partners with these groups to ensure they have the help and resources they need to become a lasting voice for conservation

The National Conservation System Foundation will:

  • Provide needed resources to local citizen groups working to protect the Conservation System’s lands, waters and resources.
  • Work with Congress and the Bureau of Land Management whose decisions will shape the future of the System.
  • Promote greater public awareness and appreciation of the Conservation System and the irreplaceable human and natural history it contains.

With your help, the Foundation and its partners can protect this critical part of our conservation legacy.
