TWC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit conservation organization that works with caring property owners to preserve their land.  We are interested in helping you to protect natural lands, primarily within the Sugarcreek and Killbuck Creek watersheds.

There are several ways you can protect your land in perpetuity so that it may be enjoyed by future generations. Land may be donated to The Wilderness Center through a life estate, will or a trust.  A conservation easement is another way to protect your land.  This method allows for continued family ownership after your death, but places restrictions on how the land can be developed.  There are tax benefits that may be realized either through a life estate or conservation easement.
