ACRES’ mission is to promote and protect neighborhood pocket woodlands, one acre at a time.
ACRES empowers citizens and grassroots groups to seek responsible and sustainable land use practices.
ACRES promotes awareness of the intrinsic value of pocket woodlands.
ACRES facilitates environmentally-based education programs that underscore the tangible benefits of these small parcels of land.
The genesis of ACRES is the vast patchwork of rapidly vanishing, small but richly bio-diverse, backyard neighborhood pocket woodlands that support life: animal, plant, and human.
The belief of ACRES is that communities can responsibly plan and implement environmentally sustainable land-use practices, minimizing our collective footprint for the benefit of present and future generations.
ACRES is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
