Our Approach

Delaware Wild Lands’ approach to conservation is unique, blending tradition with innovation.

We leverage investments in conservation and pursue strategic initiatives that are built on more than 50 years of restoration experience and land ownership in all three of Delaware’s counties.

And our conservation projects get results.

We have a small, but dedicated staff, and many neighbors and friends who contribute to our success and share our commitment to conserving and restoring the lands and waters that make Delaware beautiful.

Big News from Augustine Creek—Happening Today!

Delaware Wild Lands has protected new property in the scenic Augustine Creek area! This addition strengthens our growing land complex and contributes to a 23,000-acre corridor of protected lands stretching along Delaware’s Bayshore. These wetlands are a special part of Delaware’s landscape—filtering water that flows into the Delaware Bay, softening the impact of storms and sea level rise, and providing vital habitat for waterfowl, fish, and so many other species that depend on healthy wetlands to survive and thrive. In land protection, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts—and today, we take another critical step toward keeping Delaware wild.
