Office Manager/Conservation Coordinator, Central Southeast Region

Land critical for conservation and communities can be lost in an instant. We have a unique approach for protecting land and solving America’s conservation challenges.

With unmatched expertise in structuring land deals and a ready pool of capital, TCF can step in to buy threatened wildlife habitat, working forests, farmland and other vital conservation properties when public and private conservation partners cannot move quickly enough. We hold the land until our partners can secure funding, then resell it to them for permanent protection. That way, we recoup our capital and can recycle it over and over again for maximum impact.
