About Santa Fe Conservation Trust - New Mexico’s stunning, untouched landscapes—the life–supporting lands essential for healthy wildlife, clean air, pure water, and food–producing soils—are rapidly disappearing. The Santa Fe Conservation Trust is helping to create a network of natural, open lands in and around our communities, forever protected for all living creatures by providing landowners with tools to place their lands into voluntary conservation status. We now oversee protection of more than 33,000 acres in northern New Mexico.
