The People’s Preserve: Before It’s Too Late
They pulled the bill. For now.
But we’re not counting on that to last.
At Wild Horizons, we don’t wait for someone to fix it.
We don’t bank on politicians to suddenly care.
And we don’t sit quietly while land gets stripped, bought, or paved over.
That’s why we launched The People’s Preserve.
This isn’t a metaphor. This is a plan.
To move early. To take land off the market before it’s gone.
To build legal structures and human networks that can protect what’s left.
Before it’s too late.
🏞️ What Is It?
The People’s Preserve is a land protection fund created by Wild Horizons.
It exists to:
Purchase or secure land under mission-aligned ownership
Shield land from speculative buyouts or development
Keep forests, water, and wild ecosystems accessible to people, not corporations
Build community defense around land we already occupy or have legal stake in
This isn’t charity. This is defense.
We’re not interested in waiting until we’ve lost everything.
We want to make moves before the bulldozers show up.
Before the deed changes hands.
Before it gets renamed, rezoned, and erased.
⚠️ Why Now?
Because the bills are real.
The buyers are real.
And the silence is loud.
We already saw a land transfer bill get pulled after community pushback.
But you don’t win by stopping one deal.
You win by staying ahead of every one that comes next.
That means organizing. Fundraising. Moving money the way developers move silence. Fast.
💡 Why It’s Different
We’re not a nonprofit asking for sympathy.
We’re not a corporation making promises.
We’re a land defense collective.
And this fund exists to move when we need to.
Without waiting for someone else’s permission.
If it works, it’s because people showed up.
If it doesn’t, at least we didn’t stay silent.
