Protecting land, restoring habitat, and connecting people to nature in southern Indiana since 1990.

Sycamore Land Trust is a 501c3 nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1990 to preserve the beauty, health, and diversity of southern Indiana’s natural landscape through strategic land conservation and environmental education.

Sycamore protects 10,319 acres of land on 121 properties by owning and caring for nature preserves and by holding conservation easements that protect privately owned properties. Stewardship of our nature preserves includes restoration projects to improve natural habitat for wildlife, planting over 85,000 trees since 1990, and building and maintaining over 30 miles of trails for free public use. We also operate an Environmental Education Program that connects people of all ages to nature and reaches more than 6,000 students a year.

Sycamore Land Trust envisions a future in which southern Indiana has diverse and abundant habitat for native plants and animals, as well as clean air and water, and people who embrace the connection between a healthy environment and our quality of life.

We are accredited and uphold the highest standards. In 2019, Sycamore became an accredited land trust through the Land Trust Accreditation Commission. Accreditation acknowledges the highest level of achievement in transparency, accountability, and longevity for land trusts across North America. We are also a Guidestar Gold nonprofit.

Ensuring the wellbeing of children in an increasingly online world. 


One in three children will be bullied this year.  It could be yours.  It could be the child of someone you know.  The effects can last a lifetime.

We need to take action now to prevent the bullying and cyberbullying that so many of us endured when we were at school. Your support allows us to bring our award winning No Bully program to schools everywhere.  Teachers and school leaders trained by us are able to solve 90% of the incidents on their campus.

Give childhood a chance.
