Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Sand county foundation's mission is to inspire and enable a growing number of private landowners to ethically manage natural resources in their care so that future generations have clean and abundant water, healthy soil to support agriculture and forestry, plentiful habitat for wildlife and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

The sand county foundation provided support to private individuals and communities as primary agents of conservation and management; rewarded responsible stewards of land through award recognition; facilitated communication and information exchange among landowners, scientists, funders and policy makers; worked to remove regulatory barriers and generate incentives for landowners who enhance the environment; and created on-the-land examples of environmental solutions.
