The Cacapon and Lost Rivers Land Trust is grateful to our partner organizations who provide financial support and in-kind services so we can continue our work with private property owners in the Cacapon and Lost River Valley.

Some of these partners provide funds that we use to purchase easements to protect family farms, wetlands, and old-growth forests. The Trust is very proud of the state, federal and private funds we have raised to permanently protect these important landscapes. We are even more proud of the families who have offered these parcels and worked tirelessly by our side throughout the fundraising process.

To date, the Trust has raised more than $2.2 million from the following partners:

•  U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
•  WV Division of Natural Resources
•  WV Division of Highways
•  USDA Farm and Ranchland Protection Program
• National Fish and Wildlife Foundation
• Hardy Storage (Columbia Gas)
• An Anonymous Foundation

In addition, we have partnered with the Norcross Wildlife Foundation to provide more than $325,000 in interest-free bridge loans for landowners. These loans gave the Trust time to raise the funds needed to purchase important conservation easements.

The Potomac Conservancy provides legal support for the Trust and co-signs easement agreements with the Trust and the landowners who work with us.
