The Indian River lakes Conservancy is a non-profit land trust with 501(c) (3) tax exempt status operating in a manner consistent with the published standards of the Land Trust Alliance, a national organization.
The Indian River Lakes Conservancy was formed in 1998 to conserve critical lands in the Indian River Lakes area of Northern New York. Henry Carse, a pioneering environmentalist and civic leader, inspired the conservancy formation with his gift of the Osprey Point Marsh on Butterfield Lake. In 2003, his second gift of more than 800 acres between Butterfield and Grass Lake became the Grand Lake Reserve. Since that time, the dedication, hard work, and generosity of our community have assured the continuing success of our organization. We can all help protect this natural resource that is so important to all of us. |

The mission of the Indian River Lakes Conservancy is to preserve the natural character of the area, with a focus on protecting clean water, fish and wildlife, and the scenic vistas along the shores of the lakes and the Indian River and to educate ourselves and the community about the natural habitat in which we live. |
