Who We Are

Founded in 1988 by a dedicated group of local citizens, the Woodstock Land Conservancy is a non-profit land trust. We are run by a small staff and an all-volunteer Board of Directors. At its core, WLC is an ever-growing community of dedicated and generous volunteers, supporters, and community members who share a passionate love and respect for the land and the unique place we live. WLC owns and manages undeveloped land and works with landowners to permanently protect their property through conservation easements and by acquiring their land through donation or sale. We also provide nature education and outdoor activities to the community. Because we operate in the public interest, WLC depends on private donations to carry out its work. It is our strong foundation in the community that makes it possible to protect land that otherwise would be lost forever. This email address is being protected from spambots.

WLC Board and Staff Exploring
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Considerations

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. How are these important values supported in Woodstock Land Conservancy activities? How can we promote them in our programming and reflect them in Board/Staff composition while pursuing the conservation of natural resources? There is much work to be done ahead as we continue to consider these questions.

Thanks to The Kingston Land Trust’s Julia Farr and Shaniqua Bowden, who at this month's board meeting shared with us KLT’s process in pursuing socially responsible conservation. We are grateful to our KLT colleagues for this and admire the many fine initiatives underway there. KLT's consulting services can be found at the link below.
