Why conserve these properties?

The lands we own provide many benefits, including preserving water quality, reducing sediment entering our water, providing a barrier to erosion along shorelines, helping with flood protection, and providing wildlife habitat. In addition to the environmental benefits of protecting coastal wetlands, the preserves provide recreational opportunities for residents and tourists. General purposes for the preserves are:

1. Preserve the conservation values in a predominantly natural state in perpetuity

2. Provide a nature area that is open to the public for educational and recreational use.

3. Eliminate or reduce as much as possible existing or future impairments to the scenic landscape and natural character.

4. Preserve in an undisturbed state any historical or archaeological features.

5. Provide a natural home to many species of wildlife.

6. Protect to the extent practical the diversity of plant species found at the site from invasive species and human disturbance.
