SWOAM's land trust committee includes knowledgeable woodland owners, foresters, and legal professionals with land trust experience who can help you realize your land protection goals. Since its establishment, the SWOAM Land Trust has grown to include eleven properties (1,159 acres) and four conservation easements (1,980 acres).
