Explore Louisiana’s Conservation Story — One Map, Many Legacies

Have you ever wondered where Louisiana’s most treasured natural places, from old-growth forests to winding bayous, are being protected for future generations? Our interactive property map brings that conservation story to life in a way that’s both beautiful and meaningful.

Discover Louisiana, Acre by Acre
With a click, you can explore the full range of conserved lands where Land Trust for Louisiana holds conservation easements — from productive family farms and working lands, to vital wetlands and peaceful green spaces near towns and cities. Every dot on the map represents a piece of Louisiana’s land that has been safeguarded against future development pressures thanks to partnerships with landowners who care deeply about where we live, and the legacy they are leaving on the land.

Each property tells its own story. Some protect critical wildlife habitat and drinking water resources. Others honor the tradition of working the land — ensuring farms and ranches remain part of Louisiana’s economic and cultural heritage. Still others help strengthen natural defenses against flooding and storm surge, preserving marshlands that buffer communities.

Why This Map Matters
The map isn’t just a visual — it’s a testament to what’s possible when people step up to protect our shared land and water. Seeing these conserved locations across the state helps us all connect the dots — literally and figuratively — between local actions and lasting impact. It’s a reminder that land conservation isn’t something that happens somewhere else… it’s happening here in communities across Louisiana.
