Santa Fe Conservation Trust

The Santa Fe Conservation Trust partners with our community to keep northern New Mexico’s living lands and people flourishing together. We protect culturally and environmentally significant landscapes, ignite people’s passion for nature, and enable the continual regeneration of our healthy place. The Santa Fe Conservation Trust actively fosters an organization and conservation movement that is intentionally diverse, equitable, and inclusive. We look to nature as our guide, working to support and connect a human ecosystem that is equally complex, resilient, thriving, and full of variety. We acknowledge that land in northern New Mexico carries with it a complicated history that includes successive and ongoing waves of displacement and dispossession. We also acknowledge that land conservation and the environmental movement have historically underrepresented a diversity of people who cherish the natural world and want to protect it. Looking forward, we aspire to create a better future by building a representative, engaged, and passionate conservation community dedicated to keeping Northern New Mexico’s living lands and people flourishing together. To that end, we focus our programs, policies, and plans on providing equitable access to nature for everyone in our community and creating opportunities for inclusion. We recruit, hire, retain, and promote a diverse staff. And we recruit board members who represent the lived experiences of the people we serve to ensure the diverse viewpoints of our community inform our decisions and actions. The Santa Fe Conservation Trust recognizes that this long-term commitment is an ongoing process that requires continuous learning, growth, monitoring and improvement.
