The Thousand Islands Land Trust (TILT) protects over 14,000 acres in the Thousand Islands region, which spans the U.S.-Canada border and includes more than 1,800 islands.
Conservation easements and land acquisitions have made it possible to create Signature Preserves that offer public access to trails and serve as outdoors classrooms for a wide range of environmental education programs.
