Now Cardinal announces that it has achieved national recognition – joining a network of over 400 accredited land trusts across the nation that have demonstrated their commitment to professional excellence and to maintaining the public’s trust in their work. This total includes nature preserves, owned by the land trust, and conservation easements.
These lands are protected into perpetuity and will continue to provide life-sustaining natural benefits, now and for generations to come.Ĭardinal has received grant funding to protect agricultural lands, natural areas and open space totaling over 5,000 acres and more than 40 separate parcels. Those legacy organizations are the Land Conservancy of Hamilton County, Clinton County Open Lands, and Southern Ohio Farmland Preservation Association.Ĭardinal offers voluntary land protection options - including conservation easements for those who want to preserve their land while continuing to own it and purchases land and accepts gifts of land to protect as nature preserves. Since 1999, the organizations that merged to become Cardinal Land Conservancy have been doing just that for the people of Southwest Ohio.
WILMINGTON – One thing that unites us as a nation is land: Americans strongly support saving the land they love.
