Stroud Preserve is one of more than 40 preserves owned and managed by Natural Lands Trust, a non-profit conservation organization serving eastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey. Since 1953, Natural Lands Trust has built an extensive network of preserves ranging in size from a few acres to several thousand. Together, these preserves represent the diverse landscapes essential to the region’s environment and quality of life. As the region’s largest land conservation organization, Natural Lands Trust saves thousands of acres of forests, fields, wetlands, and streams each year, saves natural areas for generations to come, stewards landscapes to support a healthy environment, and connects people to the natural world around them.
