The Nature Conservancy in Oklahoma

Oklahoma is one of the most biologically diverse areas in North America.

Protecting Oklahoma for Future Generations

The Nature Conservancy has worked to conserve Oklahoma’s magnificent landscapes and unique biodiversity since 1986. Using a strategic, science-based planning process, called Conservation by Design, we identify landscapes that, if conserved, promise to conserve biodiversity over the long term. The Oklahoma Chapter owns or protects 11 preserves totaling almost 77,000 acres (120 square miles).
