Organizing 4 or 5 hikes a year

Working toward greenspace land acquisition

Please support the conservancy in its work for the community with a membership, donation or by volunteer efforts. The conservancy is a non-profit organization with no paid employees. We need your support to maintain the Kane Woods Nature Area for public use and to continue to beautify the traffic island at the corner of Cochran and Greentree Roads for the community.
