The Genesee Valley Conservancy depends on donations to support our preservation work.

Become a Member: GVC relies on annual memberships to fund our important conservation activities. Over 70% of our annual budget comes from membership donations. All members receive our annual newsletter, annual report, an invitation to our annual picnic, and notices of our nature walks on conserved properties and other special events.

Protect Your Land:
A landowner can pass on the development rights of his or her land to the conservancy, while retaining all other land rights. Or, give your land outright to GVC to insure its continued protection for future generations to enjoy. More about protection methods...
