Permanent Reserves

A major focus of TLC's work is raising funds to establish permanent TLC reserves. TLC seeks to acquire the most important natural areas in the state on private land. Once the reserve is acquired, TLC keeps these areas and manages them to ensure that the habitat for rare and endangered native plants and animals is maintained.
