Local Organizations:   These local area organizations work to preserve open space, watersheds, nature and wildlife preserves, and promote local recreational opportunities such as trails, canoe access and parklands. Our chapter has worked with all of these organizations on projects such as trail preservation, open space acquisition, trail building, wetlands preservation and promoting public policy that benefits the land or water resource.
