Ridge and Valley Conservancy

Ridge and Valley Conservancy RVC is an accredited, non-profit land trust that preserves open space in Sussex & Warren counties.

Ridge and Valley Conservancy is an accredited, non-profit land trust formed in 1992, working towards preserving a region that is abundant in natural beauty and biodiversity protected for the future. We serve the public interest by protecting open space for ecological, recreational, aesthetic, agricultural and cultural purposes. The Conservancy acquires important lands and easements by purchase or

donation, manages land for the benefit of nature and the public, assists in the stewardship of public lands, and advises landowners as to ecologically sound land management

• Our efforts positively impact your air and water quality, enhance sensitive ecosystems, and provide critical wildlife habitat.
• We have protected and currently steward more than 2,500 acres of preserved lands, many of which offer public access for passive recreation, including hiking, nature study, and photography.
• We help landowners identify the best preservation options for their land.
• We educate the public about the importance of open space, provide opportunities to volunteer, and offer educational programs and events.
• RVC partners with local governments, other organizations, and landowners to facilitate preservation.

What a wonderful day at the 2026 New Jersey Land Trust Summit in Princeton! Ridge and Valley Conservancy was grateful for the opportunity to spend the day connecting with fellow land trust professionals, board members, and conservation leaders from across the state.

From learning valuable new skills to sharing ideas and strategies that strengthen conservation efforts throughout New Jersey, the summit was both inspiring and energizing. We’re thankful to be part of such a passionate community working together to protect the lands and natural resources that make our state so special.
