Who we are

- Gordon Phelps
- David Roquemore
- Ronnie Taylor

- Lovett Williams, Ph.D.
What we do
As a land trust, FNCC's business is to own land in trust for preservation, conservation and/or public recreation. The FNCC also encourages and assists local governments and other land trust in the acquisition and preservation of environmentally endangered lands suitable for recreation, preservation or conservation. In addition, the FNCC now owns land and water and easements in perpetuity for the purpose of preservation and limited public recreation.
How you can help
You can help by donations of either land or funds to the FNCC. There are also volunteer opportunities, such as the semi-annual clean up of the Railroad Trestle Nature Trail.
