The Barn Environmental Group, INC is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization that was formed in 2013. We became The Barn Group Land Trust (TBGLT) in 2017. Our mission is that all streams, wetlands and natural resources function for today, tomorrow and forever. We are dedicated to preserving, restoring and protecting our nation’s opens spaces and special places for future generations. We work with individuals, organizations, and businesses to make all projects better. We want what is best for the stream, wetland, wildlife and the community. We restore and conserve the land, water and scenic character of our nation. We achieve this by performing our services for a substantially less cost and often times free. We also enter into conservation easement agreements with private property owners and accepting donations of real property. We are a small, committed and highly professional staff. We have a dedicated board of directors, an army of volunteers and donors who care tremendously about protecting the places that make The United States so unique. TBGLT feels and understands the importance of stream and wetland resources. The corridors and green-ways of streams are often the last open natural spaces in developed areas. If a youth or adult wants to commune with nature, stream corridors may be the closest and last resort offered to them. But streams are also the collection place of the sad debris of life and progress which degrades the very last natural resource most people have access to. TBGLT says: We can and will do better. We provide outreach to communities to reintroduce them to these wonders in their backyards and neighborhoods. We coordinate service projects so that communities can take and feel ownership for these natural areas. We provide education to young and old in classrooms and field trips so that people understand streams and wetlands better.
