The Ridge and Valley Conservancy was formed to protect and preserve natural areas, including woodlands, meadows, farmlands, wetlands, marshes, ponds, watercourses, and historic sites that constitute the rural character of the Kittatinny Valley and Ridge Region of New Jersey. We are dedicated to promoting the public interest in conserving open space for aesthetic, recreational, cultural, ecological, agricultural, and development uses in harmony with the natural environment. The Conservancy may acquire important lands by purchase or donation, manage land uses for the benefit of the public, assist in stewardship for public lands and easements, and advise in environmentally sound land development for public or private use. Ridge and Valley Conservancy, Inc. is a non-profit corporation established exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purpose.

Who We Are

What is the Ridge and Valley Region?

What We Do

RVC preserves forest, farmland, wetlands, and historic sites in Warren and Sussex counties, NJ. We protect wildlife habitat, particularly for rare and endangered plants and animals, and important watershed lands. We work closely with other public and private conservation organizations to permanently protect land through purchase and through conservation easements.

We also work directly with landowners to help them choose the best way to preserve their land, whether by conservation easement, sale or gift. We will continue to work to protect the best places in this beautiful region before they are altered by development.
