Protecting Our Agricultural Lands and Open Space
Tri-Valley Conservancy (TVC) protects open spaces, farmland, and vital habitats so future generations can enjoy the Tri-Valley’s natural beauty. Since 1994, we’ve permanently preserved over 6,000 acres, and with the help of our community, we continue to seek new lands to safeguard and strengthen the region’s greenbelt.

Who We Are
Conserving land, including vineyards, open space, sensitive habitats, and areas for recreation, is at the heart of our work.
TVC is a nonprofit, nationally accredited land trust serving the Tri-Valley region. Our mission is to promote economically sustainable vineyards and orchards and increase permanently protected, biologically diverse open spaces in the region.
We pursue this mission through holding conservation easements on lands, leading youth educational programs in nature, and conducting advocacy and outreach initiatives aimed at preserving the Tri-Valley’s agricultural heritage and natural beauty.
Our vision is a Tri-Valley where farmland, rangeland, parkland, and wildlife habitats are protected and enhanced for the benefit of current and future generations.
Our Impact
TVC protects lands and vineyards through conservation easements. A conservation easement is a legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust, like TVC, that permanently protects the land’s natural or agricultural value.
Landowners can still live on the land, farm it, sell it, or pass it down to future generations. The easement ensures the land will always be used in ways that align with its conservation purpose, no matter who owns it in the future.
