About this organization
Mission
To protect, preserve and enhance the natural and cultural resources, including agricultural and scenic resources, on both sides of the Ohio River between Westport and West Point, Kentucky, for the benefit of the public. We accomplish this mission through a three pronged programmatic approach of land conservation, advocacy and education.
About
Land conservation - protection, mostly permanent, of natural and cultural resources including scenic and agricultural resources through conservation easements or purchase of land in fee simple. Helping landowners and citizens protect and create more public space, natural and cultural resources, and scenic vistas. As the largest land trust in the region, with almost 2,200 acres now protected forever from unwise development, River Fields provides a strong, clear voice for land conservation that is listened to throughout this region and beyond. With 18 conservation easements and 13 properties that we own, most of that acreage open to the public, we have taken many crucial steps toward preserving lands along the river corridor forever. River Fields largest property owned in fee simple is a 45 acre nature preserve open to the public year-round from dawn to dusk. Most recently, the restoration of a critically important historic African American home has been a major project.
