About: Columbia Land Trust and Clark County have a long history of collaboration and shared conservation goals. In late 2023, the Land Trust transferred 12 acres of land to the county, to be permanently managed as part of Lewisville County Park. This parcel, along with other properties adjacent to parks throughout Clark County, was originally conserved by Columbia Land Trust with the goal of eventually transferring them to the county, as part of a long-term collaborative strategy. The Land Trust utilized Conservation Futures funds to complete the original purchases, which contribute to a shared vision of protecting lands that provide important wildlife habitat, connect scenic corridors, and offer recreational opportunities close to home.
