CONSERVATION:THE WALDEN WOODS PROJECT PRESERVES AND PROTECTS WALDEN WOODS AND THOREAU COUNTRY IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR WORLDWIDE LITERARY, HISTORICAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE AND THEIR CAPACITY TO MOTIVATE OTHERS TO IDENTIFY, STUDY, AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT AND HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREAS THAT EXIST IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. LAND MANAGEMENT:THE WALDEN WOODS PROJECT OWNS LAND THAT PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC AS A HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER PASSIVE RECREATION RESOURCE. THE MAJORITY OF OUR LAND IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC YEAR-ROUND, AND OUR INTERPRETIVE TRAILS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND A WIDE VARIETY OF ORGANIZED GROUPS, INCLUDING SCHOOL GROUPS, ELDER SERVICES GROUPS, AND TOURISTS. MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES INCLUDE MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING TRAILS, TRAIL DESIGN, INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE OF TRAIL HEAD PARKING FACILITIES, AND ECOLOGICAL IMPROVEMENTS INTENDED TO BENEFIT WILDLIFE AND THE NATURAL VALUE OF OUR LAND.INVASIVE EXOTIC PLANTS ARE A MAJOR THREAT TO THE ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF OUR LAND. THE PROJECT ACTIVELY MANAGES OUR PROPERTIES TO REDUCE THE PREVALENCE OF INVASIVE PLANTS AND TO MINIMIZE THE THREAT THEY REPRESENT. THE PROJECT'S LAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS SUPPORT COLLABORATION BETWEEN A WIDE VARIETY OF CIVIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS WHO REGULARLY PROVIDE VOLUNTEER INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT TO OUR ORGANIZATION.THE WALDEN WOODS PROJECT MANAGES CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS ON 67.8 ACRES OF LAND, WHICH PREVENTS DEVELOPMENT OF SITES NOT OWNED IN FEE (TOTAL ACRES OWNED IN FEE: 111.4).
