Latest On The Conservation Gateway

A well-managed and operational Conservation Gateway is in our future! Marketing, Conservation, and Science have partnered on a plan to rebuild the Gateway into the organization’s enterprise content management system (AEM), with a planned launch of a minimal viable product in early FY26. If you’re interested in learning more about the project, reach out to megan.sheehan@tnc.org for more info!

​On May 3, 2017, our Virginia team was joined by partners from the Virginia departments of Conservation and Recreation (Natural Heritage Program), Game and Inland Fisheries, and Forestry, as well as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with a team of AmeriCorps volunteers for a record-setting controlled burn at Piney Grove Preserve and on adjacent state lands. 1,830 acres were burned, the single largest burn at Piney Grove to date.
