​What is Prairie Land Conservancy?

We are your local accredited land trust, and we work with landowners to help protect their natural areas, open spaces, farmlands, and forests.  PLC is one of more than 1700 land trusts across the country committed to preserving land.
​We assist landowners who wish to:
  • protect wildlife habitat.
  • preserve natural landscapes and their diversity, as well as conserve soils and groundwater.
  • retain prime agricultural land.
  • learn about the benefits of preserving land through estate planning.

Additionally, our work includes educating the public about the need for land preservation and land management. We look forward to working with land use planners and developers who are interested in balancing growth with conservation.
