Celebrating 3 years of retirement this month, our founder Pat Noonan & his longtime conservation partner Rich Erdmann together protected more than 20 million acres across all 50 states. Learn more about their incredible accomplishments: bit.ly/3dZpZ6L.

Our founder, Pat Noonan, believed that people and nature must coexist. Because of that belief, TCF began on the promise of a lean, nimble nonprofit that could move quickly & get stuff done. For 39 years (and counting!), we’ve made good on that promise!
