Conservation Partners

Our ever-expanding public and private land conservation partnerships allow Muddy Sneakers students to explore private, permanently protected lands in addition to national, state, and local lands. While we prioritize the use of public lands for expedition sites, we welcome the opportunity to partner with conservation organizations to educate students about privately protected land and the remarkable gifts made by people in their community to ensure that these lands remain protected in their current state forever.
