The New Mexico Land Conservancy (NMLC) is a state-wide, non-profit land trust organization established in 2002 to help preserve New Mexico's precious land heritage. We work to protect significant wildlife habitat, productive agricultural land and scenic open space throughout the state.

This is not the time to think small. We have set a ten-year goal of conserving 250,000 acres of high conservation value lands, directly or in partnership with others, by 2014. To date, the New Mexico Land Conservancy has conserved over 80,000 acres of land in New Mexico.

We seek others who share the same energetic vision to keep New Mexico the "Land of Enchantment" for the benefit and enjoyment of local communities, the public and future generations of New Mexicans.

We invite you to take a tour of our website, get to know who we are and what we're doing, and join us in the preservation and protection of New Mexico's land heritage.
