CPF preserves nearly 3,700 acres of local farmland, habitat and open space and holds eleven conservation easements that protect historical building facades to maintain the character of Cazenovia and surrounding areas. We want to ensure that our area remains a special place for future generations.

CPF has provided community stewardship since 1967. Our vision has remained strong and our years of success are due to your generosity and support.

We need your support

Nearly 60% of our funding comes from our community. We can't do it without you!

Your gifts provide children and adults with places and programs in which they explore nature, protect important habitat, ensure that farms and open space remain an important part of our landscape, and help to conserve the historic character of our region.
