Special Areas
Scenic Lake Pend Oreille, the beautiful lower Clark Fork River
Valley, and the adjacent lands and watersheds, are magnificent
and unique areas. These special areas are rich in wildlife
resources, including moose, elk, and deer. There are
abundant waterfowl, osprey, eagles, and songbirds. The
waterways teem with fish. There are vast verdant forests
with a unique diversity of tree species. Great scenery,
wildlife and access to recreation lands attract local residents,
tourists, sportsmen, nature lovers and retirees to this area.

Our Mission and
Challenges
The
Clark Fork-Pend Oreille Conservancy (CFPOC) is a land
trust that works with the landowners and organizations in
the Clark Fork River and Lake Pend Oreille watersheds to
protect, maintain, and enhance natural resources and
recreational values that contribute to our quality of life.
Why does the land need
protection? With the high demand for real estate
and an influx of new residents, private landowners are under
increased pressure to sell their land to developers.
New subdivisions sometimes threaten to impact or damage
natural areas. It doesn't have to be this way.
Private landowners and concerned citizens can work together
to protect our special areas. Many rural landowners
are concerned about protecting their land from potential
development. Landowners often have questions on how to
preserve their land, ranch or farm for their sons,
daughters, and other heirs. We help landowners, at
their request, conserve their land. | |
What is Land Trust?
A land trust is a nonprofit charitable organization that
works with landowners to protect land and water resources.
A land trust is a tax-exempt charity that is composed of
local citizens concerned about natural resources and
conservation. Land trusts and private landowners work
together as partners to protect land with conservation
easements and other voluntary conservation methods. |
 |
Our Board of Directors,
Staff and Advisors
The CFPOC is governed by a Board of Directors composed of
local citizens from Montana and Idaho, local landowners,
experts such as biologists, and representatives from other
conservation and state organizations. A professional
executive director works for the Board. The CFPOC
follows the rules required by the IRS and the management
standards recommended by the national Land Trust Alliance. |
You can take part in preserving the beauty and
wildlife in northern Idaho and northwest Montana with a
tax-deductible
donation.
Our sincere thanks
to many individuals, businesses, corporations, and foundations for
their important financial support to the Clark Fork-Pend Oreille
Conservancy.
