Stewardship: A Promise to Nature and People
For Earth Day and Every Day
The Nature Conservancy manages 31 preserves and almost 100,000 acres of land across Washington state. Together with local communities, partners and Tribal nations, we steward these lands and waters for the benefit of nature, to advance our knowledge of natural systems and their care, and to support human communities equitably for generations to come. This can mean planting trees and removing invasive species, but it also means using our preserves as springboards for science and knowledge, conservation partnership and human connection.
TNC Washington has preserves and land easements across the state, spanning an array of ecosystems and different stewardship needs.
Over the past 60 years, the meaning of stewardship has evolved beyond caring for the land. TNC’s land stewardship in Washington is grounded in a promise to maintain and improve our natural places for generations to come and to uphold values rooted in communities and strengthened by science.
