After a lifetime of vacationing in the wilderness of northern New England and traveling throughout the United States hiking and communing with nature, our founder and his family became increasingly concerned with land development in environmentally sensitive places and preventing the continuous loss of natural habitats. The creation of the Legacy Land Society is the result of their desire to actively do something significant to preserve land and open space for future generations to enjoy and protect the ecosystems of endangered species.
The primary purpose of the Legacy Land Society is the acquisition and preservation of natural land in the New England region of the USA through supporting existing land owners and the direct acquisition of land by the Society itself to maintain the land as open space.
Future Projects & Allowable Uses of Preserved Land:
Sustainable farming initiatives especially in urban environments. Tree planting projects to increase overall carbon sequestration. Environmentally friendly outdoor uses that allow access with minimal impact on the existing ecosystem.
What we do with your sponsorship dollars:
Revenues from your sponsorship or “naming” of land are carefully allocated to causes, groups, and organizations you care about. Supporting revenue is shared between participating land owners, land preservation programs and acquisition projects, sustainable land use, legacy land management, carbon sequestration initiatives, and qualified participating fundraising organizations. The Legacy Land Society dedicates 100% of our net revenues towards these goals.

How does naming land work?
When you "name" land with us, that name is added to our permanent registry of supporters so they can be remembered for their contribution to society for generations to come and never forgotten. This "naming" is meant to allow you or a loved one to support land preservation while memorializing them as one of many interested in protecting the environment. Additionally, the revenues from "naming" land goes towards preservation goals that help our organization to both protect the current land as well as expand preservation efforts.
Can we fundraise by “naming” land?
Yes, we offer fundraising opportunities allowing you to keep up to 50% of your sales with the rest going to helping the environment. No fees, deposits, or limits on how much you can fundraise. Contact us through our fundraising form about your interest and we can discuss details.
What makes your land naming different from other programs?
Our organization is focused on protecting and preserving natural land. We understand the significance of taking steps to protect our planet's future, so 100% of our net proceeds are used to preserve land and open space forever. Your money goes towards maintaining the current preserved land, expanding that land to protect more environments, and donating to other programs with the same purpose.
