Big win for Devil’s Lake State Park in Wisconsin! 🎉

One of the largest privately held parcels inside the park was at risk of private development, which could have limited access to one of Wisconsin’s most loved state parks.

The Conservation Fund acted quickly to protect 100 acres and keep this iconic landscape open for hiking, climbing, paddling, camping, and future trail connections.

Now, more of Devil’s Lake stays open for the millions of people who come here every year to experience the outdoors.

Exciting conservation win for the Red Hills salamander — a species found nowhere else on Earth.

More than 4,000 acres of critical forest habitat in Alabama’s Red Hills region are now permanently protected and have been added to a new wildlife management area in Monroe County. This effort is part of a larger conservation landscape that is conserving over 20,000 acres across the region.

This milestone helps secure the salamander’s future while expanding opportunities for hunting, recreation, and sustainable forestry that support local communities.

The Appalachian Trail experience depends on more than the trail itself.

It depends on the landscapes around it—and those are under growing pressure.

For 40+ years, The Conservation Fund has protected land along and near the corridor, securing 100+ places and 46,000 acres.

Keeping the views, wildlife, and sense of solitude intact.
