"The merger would create the largest land trust group in Ohio and would allow it to approach conservation on a regional basis across the Western Reserve... Land trusts are private, nonprofit charities that work with willing property owners to keep their land undeveloped by signing a conservation agreement. This agreement ensures that the property will remain in its natural state."
